Sixth Form - Year 12
Year 12 entry for students aged 16
Year 12 is a popular entry point at Seaford College. Current Seaford students move seamlessly from Senior School to Sixth Form, and we welcome new students from local state and independent schools as well as from further afield. We offer day, flexi, weekly and full boarding in Sixth Form.
The closing date for registration for potential entry into Year 12 in September 2027 is Friday 9th October 2026, to be included in the first wave of offers made in December 2026. Registrations can be made after this date; applicants will be placed on a waiting list and an offer made as and when places become available.
Steps in Admissions Process

Visit Our Open Morning and Sixth Form EveningOur Open Mornings are designed to be relaxed and informal, giving families time to explore the campus with a student guide. This allows you to gain a genuine insight into our culture and ethos with opportunities to chat with our staff along the way. The morning concludes with refreshments and the chance to meet and speak with our senior leadership team. Our Sixth Form Open Evenings are designed exclusively for prospective students, offering a detailed insight into Seaford College’s Sixth Form and everything it has to offer. You will have the opportunity to visit all academic departments and speak directly with Heads of Department about the subjects you are considering, as well as discover new options you may not have previously explored. The evening will also include scheduled talks and the chance to chat informally with members of the Seaford community, including the Senior Leadership Team, Heads of Department, current students, and the Admissions team. Please note that there will be no campus tours during the Sixth Form Open Evening. |
