To apply for the Thames Sixth Form please return the completed application form together with:

• Your most recent school report including GCSE grade predictions
• Registration fee of £120 (external candidates only)
• Passport sized photo
• A copy of the applicant’s birth certificate
• Any additional information you would like us to consider

Each student will be required to attend an interview where their subject choices, interests and aspirations will be discussed. External applicants will sit an assessment and will require a reference from their current school. For internal applicants, references will be sought from appropriate subject teachers.

Thames is a mainstream school with recognised provision for a small number of pupils with mild Specific Learning Difficulties such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or dyscalculia. Pupils are expected to complete an A level curriculum and expectations of behaviour and personal responsibility are high. If your child has Special Educational Need or a disability you may make an appointment for an informal discussion with the SENDCo to discuss your child’s needs and any reasonable adjustments they may require. The school is unable to provide for pupils who require an alternative curriculum.

All applications are handled in complete confidence and the decision of our Head is final. The school is not obliged to state reasons for rejection of an applicant. For further information please call the school on 020 7228 3933.

Fees for the academic year 2023/2024 are £7,440 per term and can be paid termly or monthly by direct debit.

No extra charge is made for public exam fees, textbooks, co-curricular clubs, theatre trips, entry to competitions or compulsory trips and field studies. Fees do not include school lunches or optional extras such as overseas trips or extra-curricular instrumental or drama lessons. The basic fee is set as a mainstream school, so an additional charge is made for one to one learning support or in-class support. For full details please refer to our Fee Policy.

A deposit of half a term’s fees is payable on acceptance of a place. This deposit is refunded after a pupil has left, after deduction of any outstanding amounts due to the school. The deposit is not returned if a pupil is withdrawn after the place has been accepted.

If you would like to find out more about our Sixth Form, we are holding an Open Evening on Wednesday 28 February 2024 7pm-8.30pm. Parents and students will learn about our Sixth Form culture, the A level subjects offered, our wider curriculum and have the opportunity to see round our specialist facilities.
