How to apply to our Sixth Form

It was lovely to see so many people at our Sixth Form Open Evening on 17 November. 

How to apply to Backwell Sixth Form for September 2023 entry

The deadline to apply to Backwell Sixth Form for September 2023 entry was Thursday 8 December 2022.  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.

You will find the course booklet below which contains all key information about the courses we offer in Sixth Form – please read carefully and if you have any questions, you can contact the member of staff responsible for that subject area via (mailbox@backwellschool.net)

The application form for students who will be new to Backwell School in September 2023 is different to that for students currently studying at Backwell School as we require further information from you.  Please ensure that you complete the correct application form:

Please note:  If you wish to make an application after 6 January 2023 and are a student who is new to Backwell School, please contact the Sixth Form Team by telephone to 01275 463371 or via mailbox@backwellschool.net and complete the relevant online application form.  Backwell students who wish to make an application after 6 January 2023 should contact the Sixth Form Team directly.
