Sixth Form School Day

Sixth Form Experience

Sixth Form is a time to embrace greater independence, take ownership of your learning and make the most of every opportunity. With increased freedom comes greater responsibility, preparing students for the challenges of university, the workplace and beyond.

Education here extends far beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to lead, contribute and inspire through roles such as peer mentoring, academic mentoring and wider leadership across the School community, building confidence, empathy and resilience along the way.

We believe exceptional outcomes are built on a balanced education. Alongside academic success, students immerse themselves in Music, Sport and Drama, while Wednesday afternoons are dedicated to an extensive sports programme that promotes teamwork, wellbeing and lifelong healthy habits. By leaving their comfort zone and embracing new experiences, our Sixth Formers grow into capable, compassionate and well-rounded young adults.
