Step Four: Entrance Examinations and Scholarship Assessments

Our Entrance Assessments and Academic Scholarships take place in November. All non-academic Scholarships take place in January.

For the Entrance Assesssments, external candidates are invited into School to sit an online Verbal Reasoning Questionnaire and an English Comprehension test, together with an interview with a member of our Sixth Form team.

Academic Scholarships are available, along with Scholarships in Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music, Sport, and Textiles. Candidates who apply for an Academic Scholarship will have an interview with the Head of Department of the subject they are applying for and a member of the Senior Leadership team, together with a VRQ assessment and an English Comprehension assessment. Scholarship forms must be returned to the Registrar by both internal and external applicants for Scholarships by the deadline shown in Important Dates at the bottom of this page. For Art, Design Technology, Drama, Music, and Textiles Scholarships, there are Assessment days arranged. For Sport Scholarships, these are arranged individually by our Director of Sport.

Entry to RGS Worcester Sixth Form

We expect students to fulfil the following criteria:

To achieve at least six GCSE passes at Grade 6 or above. For some subjects where nationally, the GCSE score is above average (such as Maths), Grade 7 is required.
For some students who wish to pursue our Creative Arts Pathway (Art, Textiles and Business) but who may not achieve six Grade 6 passes or better, we ask that they talk to us about this; we will judge each student on their own merits and abilities.
Have a good report from Year Eleven. The Report should reflect a hardworking and diligent approach. The Report would need to be supplemented by a reference from the student’s school that reflects positively upon the student. It is expected that the applicant will have a very good disciplinary record at their present school.
Predicted grades will be used to support the judgement of the application along with RGS Worcester Entrance test results which all applicants will sit. For those seeking an Academic Scholarship in the Sixth Form, applicants will have an interview with a subject specialist as regards their chosen Scholarship subject, along with a member of the Senior Leadership Team. All of the above will be considered before any offer is made.
Appropriate advice will be provided if a pupil does not achieve a Grade 6 or above in their final GCSE Maths and English examinations. These subject grades are often crucial for many University and job applications, and we will advise the viability of taking these subjects when in the Sixth Form.
