Sixth Form admissions
St Albans High School for Girls Sixth Form (STAHS Sixth Form) is an outstanding place to learn. As a leading independent girls’ school in Hertfordshire, we combine academic excellence with exceptional opportunities for personal growth.
Students benefit from small class sizes, specialist teaching and tailored guidance on everything from Oxbridge applications and Medicine, Veterinary and Dentistry pathways to overseas university study.
A unique highlight of STAHS Sixth Form is the STAHS Diploma, which equips students with the skills, independence and confidence needed for the critical early years of adult life. This holistic approach ensures our students achieve outstanding results and leave ready to succeed at university and beyond.
For 2026 entry, please contact the Admissions Team to discuss your options.
JOINING YEAR 12 IN SEPTEMBER 2027
Assessment
When selecting students to join STAHS Sixth Form, we look for independence, intellectual curiosity and creativity. We hold an Assessment Day, where students complete online assessments in Vocabulary, Mathematics, Non-Verbal Reasoning and a non-subject specific written paper testing critical thinking and communication.
Candidates are selected for interview on the basis of their performance on Assessment Day and return to STAHS Sixth for an interview with the Head and Head of Sixth Form.
Applicants also indicate their preferred A level subjects during the process. Offers are conditional on achieving our required GCSE grades for chosen subjects – full details are available on our A level subject requirements page.
We require a minimum of Grade 6 in Maths and English, alongside subject-specific GCSE grades for chosen A levels.
