Applications Open – 3rd November 2025

Applications Close – 31st July 2026

Entry Requirements –We do have entry recommendations for some courses, especially A-levels, as we would not want you to start a course that would not be suitable for you. We want to give you the best chance of future success.

The course programmes are flexible: students can mix Level 3 courses with Level 2 courses, or A-levels with BTECs. We provide impartial advice and guidance and seek to put you on the courses you want and are likely to be successful in.

Students are expected to study up to 3 A level equivalent subjects (this can be from either A levels and/or Level 3 BTEC subjects) building their own personalised combination of Level 3 subjects OR a full time Level 2 course.

The sixth form runs on a flexible timetable with some courses running until 6.00pm. This flexibility means we can offer as much as possible, to as many as possible, as often as possible.

How to Apply – Please apply via Kent Choices.

CA6 Netball Academy

The netball academy is open to students in The Canterbury Academy Sixth Form.

Players receive regular support to develop their netball in the form of specialist skills coaching, tactical development and physical preparation. Sessions are run at the outstanding University of Kent Indoor Arena and fitness work takes place in the excellent gym facilities at The Canterbury Academy.

The team plays in county and national competitions and in 2024, reached the last 16 of a national cup. In order to be selected onto the programme, players need to be regularly involved in netball at club level.

In some cases, students with commitment and potential will be allowed onto the programme. For more information, contact sport@canterbury.kent.sch.uk
