Welcome to The Judd School

Thank you for your interest in the Sixth Form of The Judd School

Please do read our full prospectus available on the www.judd.online

At The Judd School, we offer courses leading to post-16 qualifications in a wide range of subjects. We aim to help you achieve a smooth transition from GCSE and to attain the qualifications that will open up the best opportunities for you afterwards. We look forward to helping those of you who are already at Judd, and others who wish to join us in the Sixth Form, make your choices wisely so that you can enjoy a happy and successful two years.

The Judd Sixth Form admits about 360 students each year. The vast majority of Judd students stay on at the end of Year 11 and typically we will make offers of 80 places to external applicants. In total we have approximately 150 girls across Years 12 & Y13. On entering the Sixth Form transferees are placed into one of our Houses.

This prospectus aims to give you information about the Sixth Form, and to give you an idea of the opportunities that are available for your development at Judd. It should be noted that the Sixth Form Curriculum is continuously under review. Should the structure of the curriculum or the range of subjects change then we will update the website appropriately.

We value the enormous contribution Sixth Formers can make to the life of the whole school community, and encourage students to develop their talents and abilities through a wide range of activities, both in and out of school. We hope that you will find the Sixth Form an exciting and stimulating time, which will afford you the opportunities and develop the skills that will prepare you effectively for Higher Education and the world of work.

If you want advice or further information not provided in this prospectus, please contact Heads of Departments or the Sixth Form Office - we will be happy to help.

About us

The Judd School is a Voluntary Aided Grammar School for boys, with about 150 girls in the sixth form, situated in Tonbridge, Kent. There are around 1400 students aged 11-18, nearly all going on to University.

Applications for entry to the Judd Sixth Form are invited from both current and prospective students. The minimum entry requirements are set out below; students should be aware that in practice most students entering the Sixth Form have far higher grades at GCSE (of our present Y12 students, approximately two thirds achieved 5 A* or more at GCSE) and the character of the Sixth Form reflects this.

The target number of students to be admitted to Year 12 is 180. A minimum of 75 offers will be made to external applicants.

Students must have achieved a minimum average performance points* score of 6.5 in their best 10 qualifications, or of all qualifications if fewer than 10 subjects completed. Students must additionally have completed a minimum of six GCSEs, including a 4 or better in each of Mathematics and English Language. Students additionally need to satisfy the requirements of their chosen subjects.

Internal Applicants

Internal applicants transfer to Year 12 provided they have met the criteria above. There is no upper limit to the number of internal students transferring to Year 12.

External Applicants

The Published Admission Number for Year 12 is 75 (external students). In the event of over-subscription, priority will be given to (in order):

1. Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care

2. Academic Ability

This will be measured by ranked average performance points* score in their best 10 qualifications, or of all qualifications if fewer than 10 subjects completed, the highest score being given the highest rank.

3. Distance

Where average QCA scores are the same students will be further ranked by distance from home to school (with the nearest given the highest ranking).

4. Random Selection

A random selection will be applied should two or more applicants have the same predicted grades and the same distance from home to school.

* Performance points refer to the points as per the current year’s ‘School performance: point scores for KS4 qualifications’. Where qualifications outside the scope of performance tables have been undertaken, the closest match will be used as decided by the Governors’ Admissions Panel.
