King Edwards Five Ways Sixth form

Hello everyone I have seen previous threads on this sixth form but I wanted a more recent thread of how the school is like for sixth form I went to the open evening and loved it but now I’m worried about admissions into the school as I really want to go there but I know it’s competitive, can someone please give any tips and help thank you so much in advance

Hey, thank you very much for your response. I also attended the sixth form open evening and I was quite impressed with the sixth form in general. I’ll make sure to take your advice on trying to achieve the best grades possible as I know that that is probably the best chance I have of getting into Five ways. Thank you for your advice and also if you don’t mind me asking the people that went to Five ways that you spoke about, how did they say Five ways was in general?

You’re welcome. The students at fiveways said it is a very good sixth form with high quality teaching. When i attended the sixth form i was impressed too and i knew that it was very competitive sixth form as there were loads of people there. I asked students in certain departments e.g biology what grade they got at gcse and they said 8/9. Is fiveways your first choice? and what subjects are picking ?

I had a similar consensus from the open evening as well and yes Five Ways is my first choice, and I'm hoping to do all the sciences or maybe Biology Chemistry and Maths alongside French instead of an EPQ because i think they did say you could do that but I'm not entirely sure, what about you? is Five ways your first choice and if it is what subjects are you thinking of picking?

Yes fiveways is also my first choice. I’m thinking of picking maths, chemistry and economics along with the EPQ. What other sixth forms have you got in mind?

Hi I’m thinking of applying for 2026. When did applications open and if you don’t mind sharing what grades did you get?

Hey I’m super sorry for the late response I’m pretty sure applications open like November December but it’s mainly just registration of interest as offers are made on results day and yes I don’t mind sharing I got six 9s and four 8s! If you smash your GCSEs you’ll deffo get in any more tips and I’ll be happy to help!
