The option blocks for our new year 12 cohort, built in response to student choices, have now been finalised subject to changes due to staffing, and are shown below. 

 Applications are still open: if you’d like to apply please email the sixth form team directly SixthFormTeam@magdalen.northants.sch.uk likewise if you’d like to make changes to your choices and allocations, speak with us, or visit the school.

Admissions criteria

Admissions criteria are in place to support students in making the correct choices for them.  At Magdalen, our criteria are:

• An average points score of 4 (APS of 4) across all GCSEs taken
• A GCSE grade 6 for subjects that have a higher tier, ie Mathematics, Languages, Biology, Chemistry, Physics [6/5 in GCSE Combined Sciences will be sufficient to study any individual Science A level]
• GCSE grade 4 in either Mathematics or an English; students will re-sit the other

Applications

Following receipt of students’ applications, option blocks have been created (see above) that ensure the majority of students can study their personal preferred combination of subjects.  Students are asked to choose 4x subjects in order of preference, and every endeavour will be taken to ensure that they can study 3 of these. If this does not prove possible within the created option blocks, we will contact each student individually to discuss their choices.

If you have any questions, please email sixthformteam@magdalen.northants.sch.uk
