Our Sixth Form has its own special character, deliberately distinct from the rest of the school in style, codes of conduct and approach to learning – but very much a part of the school.
We continue our principle of combining academic and extracurricular activities to provide a well rounded education and the necessary skills to succeed in the 21st century.

Our sixth form teaching is a based on the tutorial system: small classes which ensure that everyone participates and is fully prepared for university life. Our students enjoy strong, personal relationships with their tutors and teachers,who are able to share their passion for their subject and give individual attention to each student, including personalised advice regarding careers and Higher Education. |
Each year, we are joined by a number of new pupils at the Sixth Form stage. The small, friendly nature of the Sixth Form and the residential 'Bonding Trip' which takes place within the first few weeks of term, ensure that everyone is made to feel welcome and settles in very quickly.
Our Sixth Form is a preparation for A levels, university and life itself - but it is also a wonderful experience in its own right. This is a period of major exploration, when students can broaden their perspective, take on new roles and lead the community. All Sixth Form students are role models for the rest of the senior school and the Head Boy and Head Girl, together with their Leadership Team, lead the student body.
Sixth Form students are not required to wear uniform; the dress code is 'smart casual', just as it would be in many places of work.Students have their own common room and ample access to facilities which promote independent study, including a new Sixth Form Library.
