Year 12 Subject Blocks 2025-26


September 2025 Applicants

To join the BHS Sixth Form in September 2025, students will need to achieve a minimum of 5 GCSE C grades, inclusive of both English Language and Mathematics. Following on from this, students will then have to meet the entry requirement for their chosen subjects. These requirements are available here.

  • For entrance to our Sixth Form, a C grade is equivalent to a 4 grade in the numbered grading system, or a Level 2 Pass.
  • PC Passport/half GCSEs do not count as an entrance grade
  • Unless 8 people opt for a subject, we cannot guarantee that it will run next year. If this is the case, you will be automatically placed in your ‘reserved subject’.

Results day Procedure:

Ballakermeen Students
  • Students who have applied and met the GCSE entry requirements will be automatically enrolled into Year 12. No further action is needed.
  • Students who meet the overall entry requirements but not the grades for one or more chosen subjects, will not be able to study those subjects. Please see Miss Firth on results day to arrange a meeting with a member of the Sixth Form team to discuss alternative options.
  • Students who have applied but no longer wish to attend, please email sixthform.bhs@sch.im to confirm your decision and let us know your next steps (eg. workplace, alternate education provision).
  • Students who had not applied but meet the entry requirements and wish to join Sixth Form, please arrange a meeting with a member of the Sixth Form team when you collect your results.
External Applicants
  • External applicants should email Miss Firth at sixthform.bhs@sch.im with a photograph of their GCSE results to confirm their place. The email should also include the applicant’s legal first name, surname, date of birth, and gender, so that their details can be added to the school’s system.
  • Applicants who meet the overall entry requirements but do not achieve the grades for one or more chosen subjects will be unable to take those subjects. In such cases, arrangements should be made with Miss Firth to book an appointment with a member of the Sixth Form team to discuss alternative options.
  • Applicants who have applied to Ballakermeen Sixth Form but no longer wish to attend should notify the school by emailing sixthform.bhs@sch.im to confirm their decision.
