We admit some new girls into the Sixth Form each year; the requirement for entry is at least 6 A* - C grades at GCSE or equivalent, with at least a B expected in any subject to be taken at A-level.

Girls usually take four AS subjects in Lower Sixth but some take five subjects - particularly if thinking of applying to Oxford / Cambridge or to highly competitive universities such as Edinburgh or LSE, or for Medicine, Veterinary Medicine or Law.

In Upper Sixth most girls take three A2 subjects to complete the A-level qualification but for some universities and courses four A-levels may be advisable. 

Sixth Form is a very different experience. It is an exciting time but, understandably, will not be without some anxieties, especially since so much depends on A-level results. 

It is important that, as leaders of the school, the Sixth Form set a good example in their appearance, behaviour and observance of rules.

These unusual features of St George's Sixth Form give our girls additional qualifications for their UCAS applications as well as developing useful skills.

We give our girls increasing independence and freedom, but also introduce a sense of responsibility as they progress through Sixth Form, so that they are equipped and ready to face the challenges that university life will bring. This includes supervision and mentoring of younger girls and common room duties, but also giving priviliges, such as non-uniform, extra open weekends and evenings out.

We are also very fortunate at St George's to be able to offer trips to the University of William and Mary in Virginia, with whom we have established links.

The Higher Education programme gives advice on choosing a course and university and making best use of available information.

In the Sixth Form the main focus is on Higher Education. A great deal of group and individual guidance is given towards making decisions about careers and Higher Education.
