6th Form Entry Information sheet for entry
SEPTEMBER 2014

Please note that whilst we are obliged in our Admissions Criteria to state an “admissions number for external students” of “10”, we are able to, and intend to, offer many more places than this.

We anticipate that for the academic year starting September 2014 the actual number of external students will be comparable to previous years and will be about 45.

CRITERIA FOR ADMISSION TO THE SIXTH FORM
-------------------------------------------------
for entry
-------------------------------------------------
SEPTEMBER 2014

SIXTH FORM - ACADEMIC YEAR 2014 / 2015

The admission number for external students entering the 6th Form (Year 12) will be 45 (please see the explanatory note on our separate “6th Form Entry Information sheet”)

The expected total number of students in Year 12 will be 140.

Applications should be made on the St. Joseph’s College application form available at www.stjosephscollege.org.uk or by contacting the school. Completed forms should be returned to the school at the address below.

The Sixth Form only offers courses at Level Three so it is necessary for students to have demonstrated achievement at Level Two in order to have a reasonable chance of success. The minimum entry requirements for admission to the Sixth Form shall be:-

a) For ‘A’ Level courses
7 GCSE passes at grades A* to C including B grades in the subjects to be studied.

b) For Level 3 Vocational courses
5 GCSE passes at grades A* to C including B grades in the subjects to be studied.

Students will normally be admitted into the Sixth Form in Year 12 at the start of the Autumn Term in each school year (please see section below on late applications)

Oversubscription Criteria

If the number of applicants from those who meet the minimum level of attainment at GCSE exceeds the number of places available, the Governors will use the following oversubscription criteria

1. Students who are classified as “Looked after children” and Students who can demonstrate exceptional social or medical need. (See note 1 below).
2. Roman Catholic students (evidence of Baptism is required).
3. Students who have a sibling at St. Joseph’s College. Siblings are defined as brothers or sisters living in the same house, as their primary place of residence, including half and step brothers or sisters (providing both siblings will attend school in the same academic year).
4. Students practising other faiths who provide evidence from their place of worship that they are practising. A reference will be required from their Religious Leader to confirm this.
5. Other students applying to the College.

If there are more applicants who satisfy the criteria than places available, admission will be based on the distance from home to college measured as a straight line from the front door of the home to the main gate of the school. This will be done using Croydon Education Authority’s measuring system.

Note 1
The medical reasons must be verified by a doctor or consultant and declared at the time of application if known at the time. Claims for priority of admission on medical grounds must relate to the student and not the parent/carer or relative of the student. Claims for priority of admission on medical grounds will not be considered if submitted after a decision on the original application has already been made. The application must be supported by a letter from a hospital consultant and/or the Family’s GP.

Note 2
Students with a statement of SEN which names St. Joseph’s College as the best way to meet their needs will be offered a place.

FALSE INFORMATION

Where the College has made the offer of a place in the Sixth Form on the basis of fraudulent or intentionally misleading information, the college reserves the right to withdraw the offer of a place.

LATE APPLICATIONS

The Admissions deadline for entry in September 2014 is Friday 14th February 2014. However, students can apply up to the 1st September each year, but in the event of oversubscription preference will be given to students applying before this deadline.

Late applications after 1st September in the year of entry will be considered under exceptional circumstances i.e. where the student has been following a similar programme of study at another institution and only when there is room in individual courses. However, no applications will be accepted after the last week of the first half of the Autumn Term. This is because the entries of modular exams taking place in January need to be entered by this date.
