How to Apply
On Tuesday 16 January 2024 there will be a Post 16 information evening, starting at 6.00pm (5.30pm for
applicants from other centres). More information is available here: www.sjl.herts.sch.uk.
Application forms can be completed online and will be available on our website in the new year. The
deadline for applications is Friday 2 February 2024 but we welcome earlier applications.
Each student should choose 3 subjects, plus a reserve choice. BTEC Media Extended Project is a Triple
Award qualification and counts as 3 subjects, students cannot study A Levels alongside this qualification.
BTEC Business, BTEC Health and Social Care, BTEC IT, Media Single, CTEC PE, and BTEC Performing
Arts are Single Award qualifications and each count as one subject. Subject choices should be listed in
order of preference in case of over subscription.
Students should also express a preference for the enrichment options available in the section after the A
Level subject details. The Sixth Form team will carefully consider enrichment preferences at the beginning
of Year 12 and allocate as appropriate to student needs.
All students intending to enter the Sixth Form at Sir John Lawes will be invited to an advice and guidance
meeting providing a further opportunity to ask questions about the courses under consideration.
Information on how to contact the Careers Adviser attached to Sir John Lawes and how to find out about
the post 16 offer from local colleges will also be made available.
Some students, on returning in September, find that their original choices are no longer the right ones for a
variety of reasons. Whilst we will try to accommodate students who wish to change their courses, it should
be noted that this is not always possible due to timetable restrictions, so please make your choices
carefully. Changes may only take place after negotiation with the Head of Sixth Form and the relevant
Head of Faculty and will not be possible after the end of September.
For further information please contact Sixth Form Administration on 01582 760043 Ext 1038 or email
6thformadmin@sjl.herts.sch.uk.
I hope this has answered most of the questions you may have about the Sixth Form at Sir John Lawes.
However, I appreciate that some of you may have individual concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact
me for further advice and information.
Ms S Calverley
Head of Sixth Form
