External Applicants

We welcome applications from students wishing to join us for their Sixth Form studies, and encourage you to apply for our Sixth Form. Alongside the range of subjects on offer, we also have designated members of staff to support our Sixth Form students pastorally during their time with us, and a wide variety of extra opportunities offered to our Sixth Form students to develop their skills and experiences in a number of areas to prepare for life after Sixth Form. As such The Folkestone School for Girls is a choice we hope you consider for your Post 16 options and we thoroughly look forward to welcoming you to our school.
