Sixth Form Open Evening

Our Sixth Form Open Evening will be taking place on Thursday 23rd October 2025.

There is no need to book to attend our Sixth Form Open Evening

The majority of students progress from Oriel’s Year 11 into Sixth Form. However, you don’t need to live in the catchment area or even to have been to Oriel High School to join our popular and supportive Sixth Form and every year we welcome students from other Crawley schools and from further afield.  If you would like to find out more about the school, then feel free to speak to Mrs Denman, Head of Sixth Form, and she will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Sixth Form Admissions criteria:

• 5 or more grades 4-9; including equivalents across at least 4 subjects
• Maths and English Language Grade 4 or above
• Average GCSE GRADE of at least 3.5 (average of ALL GCSE full courses taken)

Entry Requirements for A Level courses

• 5 or more grades 5-9; including equivalents across at least 5 subjects
• Maths and English Language Grade 4 or above
• Average GCSE GRADE of at least 4
• Maths and Science subjects require average GCSE grade of at least 4.75

We encourage all A Level Scientists who are not studying A Level Maths to take CORE Maths; this should be a fourth option.
Other students are also welcome to add this as a fourth subject

Students wishing to study a fourth subject that is not Further Maths or an enhancement will need a strong academic profile including 5x Grade 8 at GCSE.

Students have the option to add the EPQ to their profile in the second year providing their academic progress is strong in year one.

Applications

Applications for 2026 will open following the Open Evening.

Students will be able to apply via a link here at this time.
