Sixth Form Enrolment & Transition to Year 12

Internal Oxted School Applicants for Sixth Form

Sixth Form enrolment takes place on GCSE results day which is Thursday 21 August. Progressing Oxted School students will receive a letter and enrolment information when picking up their GCSE results from the Main Hall. This will inform our students which teacher they need to go and see for an enrolment meeting. The type of enrolment meeting will be dependent on results, as some students may require an option/choice review if they have not met entry requirements for their courses and/or general requirements for Sixth Form.

If anyone does require an option/choice review then we encourage a parents/carers to be present for the meeting. We do expect the morning to be very busy, so please expect possible waiting times to speak to a member of the enrolment team, but we will actively do our best to keep this is to a minimum.

If anyone is unable to attend results day, then we are arranging enrolment meetings in the days following results day.  Please contact the Sixth Form Team directly (sixthformoffice@oxted.thpt.org.uk) to book a later enrolment meeting.

External Applicants Enrolment Day for Oxted School Sixth Form

The main enrolment session for external applicants to Sixth Form will be during the afternoon of results day on Thursday 21 August. 

We would like you to meet a member of the Sixth Form Team on the afternoon of results day to check that you have met the entry requirements for Sixth Form and your courses.   These in person meetings for external applicants will take place in the Oxted School Main Hall from 1pm to 3pm. The Main Hall is in the large building at the front of school and can be accessed from the school gate close to the Barn Theatre. 

To arrange an appointment time please email Sixthformoffice@oxted.thpt.org.uk   Alternatively, you can turn up on the day without an appointment from 2pm-3pm.  We prefer that you have a parent or carer with you for a Sixth Form enrolment meeting.

What to bring with you to enrol:

Applicants should bring their Year 11 GCSE/BTEC results with them.  If they are unable to produce a printed copy of their GCSE grades, then applicants should forward the email that they receive from their school to Sixthformoffice@oxted.thpt.org.uk

Applicants will also need an original copy of your full birth certificate and your passport if you have one. If we can enrol you then we will need an enrolment form to be completed and paper copies will be available.

If you are unable to attend on Thursday 21 August

If applicants are unable to attend on Thursday 21 August or they would like a few days to decide on their next steps after Year 11, then we can arrange an enrolment meeting for them on Tuesday 26 August or Wednesday 27 August.
