Think I'm being a bit dense but I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm after a list of state schools / colleges in the Richmond borough that offer sixth form / A levels? I can't see a list on the education website?

I'm familiar with the options, firstly when are you looking for as Esher College has already closed and offered places for September 24, if you want Sept 25 you need to register by end of Sept 24.

6th form colleges include Richmond College, Kingston College, Feltham College and Esher College.

Schools with 6th forms include Orleans Park, Teddington school, Greycourt, Christs. Some have very few spaces for non siblings ie Orleans Park.

Richard Reynolds's is catholic but the 6th form often has spaces, check out the entry requirements.

Some schools like Hampton High and Thamesmead don't have a sixth form and have formal links to 6th form colleges like Esher guaranteeing entry.

I can understand why there isn't a list as it wouldn't be much help as the admissions criteria of each school is different and then different again for the colleges that aren't all in borough plus as I've said some schools have 6th forms but virtually no spaces for new admissions at 6th form.

@onedayatatime73 all the Richmond Borough state secondary schools have a sixth form, except for Twickenham School, Hampton High and the Richmond upon Thames School. So the list that do have sixth forms is:

On Richmond side of borough:
Christs (C of E)
Richmond Park Academy

On Twickenham side of borough:
Orleans Park School
St. Richard Reynolds (Catholic)
Waldegrave (mixed in sixth form)
Turing House School
Teddington School

I think Christs and Orleans tend to fill up with their own students so don't have many external places to offer - check their sixth form admissions policies for that - they will say how many places there are overall, and also give a minimum for the number of external places. (Internal students always get priority so long as they get the grades they need).

Sorry, I missed Grey Court, on the Richmond side of the borough.

Richmond Upon Thames college in Twickenham has improved massively over the years and is definitely worth a look.
