Welcome to Portsmouth High Sixth FormOur results speak for themselves: in 2011, an impressive 22% of girls achieved straight A* or A grades in all of their subjects and 16% of all grades awarded were A*. Grades A* to B were achieved by 68.5 % of candidates. In the current highly competitive climate for university entrance, we are very pleased to report that over 90% of 2011 leavers secured a place at their first choice university. No surprise then that we’re proud of our academic success maintaining our position as a top performing Sixth Form in the local area. But the Sixth Form at Portsmouth High School offers much more than this. Talk to any of our students about to embark on the next exciting phase of their career and you will immediately notice a confidence about them, a sense of purpose, of independence and self-belief. So how do we do it? Excellent teaching and a good deal of hard work and commitment from our students: a team of dedicated and enthusiastic specialist staff working in a happy partnership with conscientious students ensures that every individual achieves her very best. And that focus on the individual is the key to our success: when you join Portsmouth High School, we put you first. With a personal development plan for every student, regular one-to-one tutorials and our innovative ‘Aspire’ personalised extension programme, we offer a Sixth Form experience that is uniquely designed to fulfil the academic and personal potential of every student.
