King Edward Camphill Sixth form 2015

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here' been to Camphill/ is thinking of applying. Their opinions of it, what they were predicted and what the average GCSE requirements are (from your point of view).

Oh I have applied to Camp Hill as well but I really don't know if I can get it because I have heard that it has become really competitive. Plus I sent it in the two weeks holiday so there's bound to be a delay. But I was wondering do they look at applicants in the holiday????

I've submitted my application form, my brother went there and he found he was really pushed to his limits in order to achieve what he was capable of... I'm predicted all A's and an A* in Maths. But then again, my brother got 11 A's and 5 A*'s and just about got in! So the competition is high for them few places which are open to other schools.

No, I don't think they start looking at them till after the deadline. What a levels have you chosen? X

Hiya, I have chosen biology chemistry maths and psychology though I am a bit unsure of that one because I was initially going to choose further maths but I kept hearing that half of my lessons will be maths so I changed my mind! What A-levels have you chosen??

Hiya, i have chosen biology,chemistry,maths and physics mainly because those are the ones i do best in and enjoy ������ i'd say just go for what you enjoy and feel most comfortable doing. What are your preficted grades like? Are you looking to apply anywhere else? X

Hey
My dream is actually to go to Camp Hill. I'm sending my application off as soon as I get my Mock results which is in about 3 days man, so it should be good. Alright so my predicted grades: 8A*s, 2A's and I've already got an A in RS (lol) I'm guessing like anybody with over 6 A*s will be considered, then they choose the people with the best applications from there.
The school is amazing, I know loads of people that have been/go there and I so want to go there man. Whats your predicted grades like?

Hi there, having stumbled upon this thread after typing my school's name out in the search bar to see where it would lead, I could be of some assistance to whoever may require it. I'm in year 13 CHB and have been at Camp Hill since day 1. Studying biology, chemistry and geography.

Hey there. Could you look at my mocks and predicted grades and tell me if I have a good chance of getting in? . I also did a good application (I guess) where I praised the school loads, spoke about extra curricular activites loads and basically wrote loads. I sent the application Friday and got an E-mail today saying they're processing my application.
Mocks: 7A*s 2A's. (All A*s in subjects I want to do at A-level. Got A* in Maths and an A in English Language)
Predicted Grades: 9A*s 2A's

Your predicted grades are absolutely brilliant. But my school is quite dodgy and grades really doth matter to a certain extent. It really just depends on what subjects your applying for. Bio and Chem will be competitive to get in even with those grades. But say, if you applied for the humanities and arts with those grades, you would pretty much walk in. Also, because everyone will basically have roughly the same grades so based on the externals that joined my year and the year below, i believe CH is trying to get a wide variety of people from different areas of bham to join. Note to others that don't have amazing grades or aren't predicted any A*, you still have a chance, there are people in my year who got in without having gotten any A* at GCSE at all.

If you dont mind me asking, what were your grades like? Also, what do you think they look for in particular for someone wanting to do biology, chemistry, physics and maths?

Ah thanks man. My problem is I want to do Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science so yeah it'll be difficult. Guess I need to go all out in the interview then
