The Sixth Form

Sixth Form girls enjoy the benefits of having their own centre, increased freedom and many privileges

They are encouraged to think independently, to take responsibility for their own studies and to acquire additional skills including the effective use of their time

A wide choice of subjects and combinations of subjects at AS and A2 levels is available

Small teaching groups allow for close working relationships between staff and students, ensuring excellent results at Advanced Level

The transition from GCSE to Advanced Level work is carefully managed and students’ progress is monitored regularly

There are opportunities to participate in a wide range of enrichment activities and each year a variety of cultural visits, lectures and subject related activities is arranged

Girls gain experience in leadership and organisation by taking on responsibilities as School Officials and contributing to the smooth daily running of the school

Two hard but exciting and ultimately rewarding years ensure that Sixth Form students leave well-equipped and ready for the challenges of university and the adult world

Careers staff run an extensive programme of activities to help girls make informed choices for life beyond school. Students have the opportunity to speak to a university admissions tutor, visit Higher Education fairs and attend university open days

Each Sixth Form student is given detailed advice on suitable courses, interview techniques and university applications

Students are prepared for entry to Oxford and Cambridge and usually most of the girls gain places at the university of their first choice
