Sixth Form Entry Booklet

4 INTRODUCTION This booklet gives details of the courses and options available at the Royal Grammar School. It is aimed at both potential Sixth Formers already at the Royal Grammar School as well as new entrants to the School. We will be pleased to give further advice to prospective entrants when you visit the School. We welcome applicants from all types of school, for day and boarding places, and are delighted by the record of successes students new to the Sixth Form have achieved at A Level and beyond. Boarding Many of our students new to the Sixth Form take up the opportunity to board at Fraser Youens House. This is an ideal stepping stone to university life. It offers academic and pastoral support whilst still giving a young man a degree of independence. Our boarders achieve excellent results at A level, A*-B grades being, historically, 10% higher than fellow Sixth Formers. We would welcome applications to Boarding from both existing students and those new to the School. When to Apply: Enquiries about admission and firm applications can be made until 31 January, 2022 for entry in September 2022.
