Become part of our Sixth Form...

Become part of a close-knit community of ambitious and adventurous learners, looking forward and outwards to all that life has to offer.

THE FUTURE IS YOURS

Our sixth form offers a wide range of A Level subjects, with a personalised timetable created for each and every one of our pupils. So, in addition to deeper dives into subjects you already love, you can choose to pursue new subjects, and make use of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to research an area of particular interest – and enhance your university applications.

Outside the classroom, we are looking to you to become a leader. And we offer a multitude of leadership initiatives to help you in this – from standing for election to the Head Girl or House Captain teams, offering peer support to your fellow pupils, representing the school in public speaking or as a member of one of our Duke of Edinburgh expedition teams, or lead a charity fundraising project… the list is endless.

You will also be coached in essential life skills in readiness for your life after school. From career guidance to money matters, cooking and driving, how to ‘wow’ at interviews and deliver the perfect presentation, we’ve got you covered.

In short, we are here to give you the confidence and competencies you need to achieve everything you want to in life.

Mrs Katie Wood
Assistant Head (Pupils) and Head of Sixth Form

“Pupils develop outstanding levels of self-knowledge, confidence, self-discipline and resilience, so that by the time they leave they possess skills that prepare them extremely well for the next stage of their lives.”
