Applying to Backwell Sixth Form is an online process and the deadline for applications is Friday 5 December 2025 at 4.30 pm.

The application form for students who will be new to Backwell School in September 2026 is different to that of students currently studying at Backwell School as we require further information from you. Please ensure that you complete the correct application form.

• Year 11 students new to Backwell School, please complete the application form here:  https://frog.backwellschool.net/sf-app-ext
• Year 11 students currently studying at Backwell School:  Please log in to your Frog account and click on the ‘Application to join Backwell Sixth Form’ link on the Student Notices page.

Please note that applications submitted after the deadline of Friday 5 December 2025 will be considered.  However, whilst we will do our best to accommodate your subject choices, those subjects may already be full and there could be reduced choice in terms of subject combinations.
