We have a growing number of applications, both from within Year 11 at Silverdale and from schools across the Sheffield City Region and north Derbyshire.

How to apply

Admissions to Silverdale Sixth Form follow the Sheffield Local Authority process. As such, all applications should be made through Sheffield Progress (www.sheffieldprogress.co.uk), whether you are at a Sheffield School or not. Further information on the application process is available at:

• Guidance on the application process
• How to apply through Sheffield Progress for students outside Sheffield

Details of our admission arrangements are available on our policies page.

When to apply

You can apply any time from 1 December, when Sheffield Progress opens, until 31 January. Please be aware that schools will set their own internal deadline for submitting sixth form applications so make sure you know when these are. Applications received after 31 January will not be dealt with until the 21 March at the earliest.

Entry requirements

Students who meet the entry criteria of 5 subjects at grades 4 to 9, including English and Maths, and the individual subject entry requirements, as stipulated on our course pages will be offered a place at Silverdale Sixth Form.

Students who are predicted to meet the general minimum requirement of 5 subjects at grade 4 to 9 (plus any subject specific entry requirements) and who attend a school within Chorus Education Trust will get priority over other non-Chorus students.

Guidance for applying to Sheffield Sixth Forms can be found from page 89 in Sheffield City Council's 'Transfer to Secondary School 2024/25' document.

Please note that all courses are subject to change, depending on the number of students who apply and the availability of teaching staff.
