Open Evening for September 2027 Start
We will open our doors to current Year 11s and their families on Tuesday 24 November 2026 between 5.30 and 7.30pm.
You will have the chance to speak with subject teachers and current students, find out the courses we offer, and attend a talk given by the Headteacher and Director of Sixth Form. Booking is essential for the talk – you can choose to attend at 6.00pm or the repeat session at 6.45pm.
Hitchin Consortium
Hitchin Girls' School is part of the Hitchin Consortium, which also includes Hitchin Boys' School and The Priory School. The purpose of the Consortium is to offer a wider choice of post-16 subjects across the three schools to all their students.
Admissions
Standard entry requirement for our Consortium is five Grade 9-4 GCSEs or equivalent, including English and Maths at Grade 4 or above and a minimum overall GCSE Average Points Score (APS) of 4. This is calculated by taking the average result of all full-course exams undertaken, with a minimum of eight entries. Most courses will have additional entry requirements and these are detailed in the Entry Requirements table.
Hitchin Girls' School will admit to its Sixth Form any student of the appropriate age with an EHCP that names the school. The school will admit up to 50 external students to its Sixth Form.
If the school is oversubscribed, priority will be given to:
i) Children looked after or previously looked after:
Children looked after (in public care) and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order).
Followed by:
ii) Children for whom this is their nearest Hertfordshire-maintained school or academy that is non-faith and non-partially selective, and makes provision for children of the relevant gender.
Followed by:
iii) Distance (if two applicants have the same home-school distance both shall be admitted).
External students - September 2027 entry
Students interested in joining Hitchin Girls' School Sixth Form who are currently at other schools must complete the external applicants' Options form. The form will open on 24 November 2026.
