Joining Our Sixth Form (16+) | Epsom College

Each year we welcome around 20 new students to the Sixth Form. We are looking for young men and women who are well-rounded and academically able. We want our students to lead rich and varied lives, contribute to the life of the College and our community, and have interests that stretch beyond the confines of the curriculum.

Entry Requirements

To be considered for a place in our Sixth Form you will need a grade average of 6.5 across all your GCSEs, with at least a Grade 7 in the subjects you wish to study at A-level. You must have at least Grade 8 for the more technical subjects, such as maths, sciences and modern languages.

Year 10 Open Mornings

Bookings for our 15 June Open Morning are now open.

Open Mornings are the best way to see Epsom. You will be shown around the College by your own personal pupil guide, taken into departments, Houses, the Lower School and any other areas you wish to see.

At the June event you will also have the chance to hear from our current Head, Sir Anthony Seldon, and Mark Lascelles, our new Head from September 2024.

Senior staff and Admissions colleagues will be available throughout the morning to talk in more detail about the College and answer any questions you have.

November, Year 11 Interviews & Scholarships

Due to the demand for places, and the volume of applications we receive, we regret that we are not able to interview everyone who applies; we don’t want to give anyone false hope where we believe there is little chance of a place being offered.

Based on the information you provide in your application, and the reference we receive from your school, you may be shortlisted and invited to attend the College for an interview with a member of our Academic Leadership Team. Interviews will take place in the second half of November on a mutually convenient date. We can also arrange a remote interview if you are unable to attend the College in person.

If you are applying for a scholarship, you will be invited for an assessment/audition as relevant. The Academic Scholarship will be held on 15 November. The assessment dates for Drama, Music and Sport will be confirmed nearer the time.
