Academic Standards

Academic Standards at Wells

Academic standards and expectations are high and results are routinely strong. This enables our pupils to achieve places at the most prestigious universities in the country with typically around 10% of the year group gaining places at Oxford or Cambridge, and many others gaining places at other Russell Group universities.

Entry Requirements

To enter the Sixth Form at Wells, pupils will need satisfactory IGCSE or GCSE results in at least six subjects at grades 9-4 (A* to C ) and typically a minimum of grade 7 or 6 (A or B) in the chosen areas of Sixth Form study.

Whatever your grades, the Head Master must be confident that each potential Sixth Former (internal or external) has the academic qualifications as well as the sufficient maturity and self-discipline to participate in the curriculum and in the life of the Sixth Form. In making this assessment the Head Master might take previous records and reports into account.
