How do I find the Sixth Form?
Our Sixth Form is located within the grounds of Cheadle Hulme High School. Our address is Cheadle Hulme High School, Woods Lane, Cheadle Hulme, Cheadle, Cheshire, SK8 7JY.
On-site parking is very limited, so we strongly encourage visitors to walk or use public transport where possible.
If you do choose to drive, please be considerate of our neighbours. Avoid blocking driveways or access routes, and do not park on double yellow lines. Accessible parking is available for those who need it.
How do I apply for a place?
Applications will open following our open evening on Thursday 5th November 2026. Visit our Admissions page to complete an application form and find everything you need to know about how to apply for a place for the academic year 2027/28.
When is the admissions deadline for the academic year 2027/28?
The deadline for submitting your application is 6pm on Friday 4th December 2026. Please make sure you complete all sections of the application form and submit it on time.
When do I find out whether I’ve been offered a conditional place?
All students who apply will be invited to attend a consultation meeting with a member of our senior leadership team. You will be given the opportunity to discuss your current progress, Sixth Form subject choices and future aspirations.
In February 2027, a conditional offer of a place in the Sixth Form will be issued following the consultation meeting. Places are confirmed following registration on GCSE Results Day.
We hope this answers some of your questions about our Sixth Form Open Evening and Admissions.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
