UK Sixth Form (16+) Entry: A-Level Results and How to Apply
Many families from Thailand and Hong Kong join a UK school at 16, for the two years of A levels. Entry is competitive and the steps differ by school: some ask for an assessment day or their own test, some an interview, almost all a reference from the current school. This page lists the schools in our guide that have a checked 16+ route, with their A-level results beside the steps.

How to read this page
- Steps come from each school's own admissions page and are listed by type. The wording, deadlines and subjects are on the profile. Dates change every year, so confirm with the school.
- A-level shares are the figures on each profile (see its sources and year). Schools publish them in different ways, so a dash means that profile does not give that figure.
- A school's results do not tell you whether your child will get a place or do well there. Sixth Form places are limited and many schools ask for predicted or actual grades; talk to the school early.
