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 school 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 Prospectus 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.

Applications for Entry in September 2026

Applications for 2026 Entry are underway. Our 2026 Prospectus is now live, and contains all of the information you need regarding the courses on offer and their entry requirements.

The Open Evening, held on 16th October 2025, hopefully provided you with lots of useful information about these qualifications and courses, and also the additional benefits of studying at our Sixth Form, including:

- The exciting and varied Enrichment Programme.

- The additional qualifications available, such as the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), Duke of Edinburgh Gold, and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL).

- The care and pastoral support provided by our Sixth Form Tutors.

- The Careers' Education, Advice, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) we offer, which is provided by our dedicated Level 6 CEIAG Advisor for Sixth Form.

If you were unable to attend, or have any further questions about Sixth Form, or the application process, please do not hesitate to contact us at cotswoldedgeadmin@brimsham.com.

Although the deadline for applications is 7th November 2025, we will continue to consider late applications, up to and including the summer 2026 GCSE results period.

We really look forward to meeting you, and to receiving your complete application for Cotswold Edge so that we can support you on your Sixth Form journey.
