The vast majority of Sixth Formers at Ardingly progress from the College to university, be that in the UK or overseas. The majority of the UK universities are Russell Group.


Sixth Formers are supported through specialist advice from the Head of Sixth Form and a team of dedicated UCAS tutors who provide personalised guidance to help students select and apply to university. For those looking to apply to college in North America, there is a specialist advisor who acts as their counsellor during the complex process.

Entry to the US system in the main also requires candidates to submit test scores, and students are able to select to take part in an evening ACT preparation course.

During the course of the year there are a number of higher education-focused events, talks and fairs to support students in their application. These events see representatives from a wide range of British and overseas universities visit the campus, enabling students to discover more about the options available to them first hand from members of the admissions team.  For those interested in Oxbridge and Medical applications, there are also a range of dedicated options within the Enrichment Programme to prepare them for this process.
