It was great to welcome so many visitors to our Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 2 November 2023.  Please see our presentation here:  Sixth Form Open Evening Presentation 
You can find out all about the courses we offer in our Sixth Form Course Information Booklet 2024-2026.

(However, since publication, please note that the following subjects will not be running:  Applied Science, German, Performing Arts and Politics).

Also, please do read our 10 reasons to choose Backwell Sixth Form.

Applying to Backwell Sixth Form is an online process.  The deadline to apply to Backwell Sixth Form for September 2024 entry was Friday 5 January 2024.

Please note that applications submitted after the deadline 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.  Please contact the school via mailbox@backwellschool.net if you are making a late application.

The application form for students who will be new to Backwell School in September 2024 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.

  • Students currently studying at Backwell School, please complete the application form here:  https://frog.backwellschool.net/sf-app-int .  Please ensure that Backwell students complete the application themselves as it links directly to their Frog account.
