Students who just miss the matriculation requirements may be asked to attend an extended Course Counselling session afterwards, once we have sought advice from Heads of Subject.

Further advice:
- Visit other schools and colleges – make sure this is the right Sixth Form for you by making an informed choice
- New applicants – join one of our morning tours to find out more about our unique school
- Speak to siblings, friends, teachers about possible choices – if in doubt, ask!
- Notify us of any changes to your application or withdrawals
- Note up to 25% of the Lower Sixth are new to AES and fit into our welcoming and interesting Sixth Form extremely well
- GCSE Resit English and Maths: If a student is admitted to our Sixth Form with GCSE English and/or Maths grades below 5, the school will pay for their November resit first entry. Students will be offered resit classes to support their preparation for the exam. If a student achieve above a grade 4, but still wishes to resit, then students must pay for their first and all subsequent entries. A resit support class is not guaranteed. If students would like to resit more than once, then they must pay.
