Admissions FAQs
The deadline for submitting an application for September 2025 is January 31st 2025 for internal students and February 14th 2025 for external students. If you are interested in submitting an application after the published deadline this is still possible. For information on late applications please email sixthform@lighthall.co.uk.
Light Hall offers a range of A-Level courses for you to study. Please visit the A-Level subjects page here for a list of courses, a bit about what each subject involves and the entry requirements for study.
We also offer the EPQ (academic studies) course, which all Year 12s will have the opportunity to complete. This involves learning and practicing key skills you will need at university and in the workplace including academic research and writing, referencing and time management. This course gives you the freedom to research a topic of your interest in depth, not related to your usual studies and can lead to discovering your future career path!
Normally, in Year 12 you will choose 3 A-Level subjects to study. A-Level Further Mathematics and A-Level Chinese are also available as an additional A-Level for suitable candidates. An alternative fourth A-Level may be studied by the most-able students and those preparing to apply for university courses with specific requirements.
Please visit the A-Level Subject page for information on the specific requirements for 25/26 entry.
Yes. You will be invited to attend a short interview here at Light Hall with Mr Brookes, Head of Sixth Form. This is nothing to worry about, it is a chance for you to ask any questions you have and to discuss your subject choices to ensure you’re aiming for the best programme of study for you.
Interviews will take place between January and May. Invitations to interview will be sent via email to the address used to register the account and to any parents/carers listed on the application.
Before interview – If you change your mind about your subject choices after submitting your application but before your interview, don’t worry, you can discuss any changes you’d like to make during your interview.
After interview – If you change your mind following your interview and offer of place, don’t worry, there may still be an opportunity to change your course before, or at enrolment, subject to entry requirements and course availability. Please email sixthform@lighthall.co.uk with details, if you believe you’d like to change your subject choices.
All offers we make to students are a conditional offer of place. This means that you need to meet our requirements in order to enrol with us. This includes the general entry requirements, a suitable reference from your school and the specific subject requirements. It is important to know and understand what grades you need to achieve in order to be able to study your chosen subjects. Information on subject requirements can be found here and will be discussed at interview.
Enrolment takes place on GCSE results day.
Details of how to enrol will be provided to all applicants before the end of the academic year.
There may be an opportunity to enrol after GCSE results day, if spaces are still available, but applicants must contact the Sixth Form Office as soon as possible if they would like to do this, and if all available places have been taken on GCSE results day, it’s likely we are unable to acommodate late applications.
Students who have not quite met the entry requirements will discuss their ‘Next Steps’ with Mr Brookes on enrolment day when they visit the Sixth Form.
There may be an alternative combination of subjects that you could study.
If you have a pre-planned holiday or other important event that will prevent you from being able to attend enrolment in August please email us at sixthform@lighthall.co.uk.
Attending on enrolment day is an important part of the offer process. If you have not discussed other arrangements with us prior to enrolment day, we may not be able to hold your place and/or subject choices, so please get in touch as soon as you can.
Our Insight Day is for all of our Sixth Form Applicants.
There will be opportunities to learn about our enrichment offer, ask our staff questions and go home with lots of resources to support your transition to Year 12.
Lunch will be provided and students will get full use of the Sixth Form facilities at break times.
It’s set to be an engaging and informative day and we can’t wait to meet our hopeful new Year 12 students.
To attend our Insight Day, you must have received and accepted your offer of place.
Log in to your application account (lighthall.applicaa.co.uk) and complete the ‘Taster Day’ form by Friday 28th June. The form only takes a couple of minutes to complete and is compulsory to attend the day.
We will send confirmation to all students who have confirmed their attendance shortly before the event.
