Applications

Welcome to Cotswold Edge Sixth Form Applications. We very much hope you choose to join us for your Post 16 studies, whether you are an existing student of our schools or looking to join us from another school. We strongly believe that we are offering the best possible Post 16 provision in your local area.

In this section, you will find everything you need to take you through the process:

The Application Pack gives details of the wide range of subjects on offer, and it includes advice on how to research possible pathways, including some very helpful career websites. It is very important to know why you are choosing to continue with your studies.

The Entry Requirements show very clearly what GCSE grades you need to achieve in order to study our courses at Cotswold Edge. As well as the overall requirements, it is very important to take careful note of the needs of individual subjects: this is because the demands of those courses are such that you really need prior skills and knowledge in order to succeed.

The main period for Application for 2025 Entry has now closed, but we welcome late applications up until the start of courses in September 2025. To make an application, please refer to page 5 of the Application Pack. Once you have done so, return the completed form to the Head of Sixth Form at one of the two schools, preferably the one you wish to be your Home School.

Available Course Choices are now set out in the Blocks shown on the updated Application Form for 2025 Entry. You can only choose one subject to study in each block (to a maximum of three courses, or four including Further Maths or Core Maths). These blocks were created taking into account the choices of existing applicants and staffing constraints.

If you have any questions at all about the process, please do not hesitate to contact one of the Heads of Sixth Form or cotswoldedgeadmin@brimsham.com

We really look forward to receiving your completed application for Cotswold Edge so that we can support you on your sixth form journey.
