Admissions information including a Sixth Form welcome video
Kettering Science Academy offers a range of courses, tailored to meet the needs and requirements of individuals from which students can move on to courses of higher education or full time employment.
In order to begin studies here at Kettering Science Academy, students must achieve five GCSEs at grade 5 or above. If students are studying vocational subjects only, they must achieve five GCSEs at grade 4 or above.
Some subjects have additional entry requirements so please read the specific subject information in the prospectus carefully.
