Sixth Form Curriculum

We provide a rich, flexible programme which enhances academic learning, broadens thinking skills and stretches our students intellectually. Part of the success academically is due to the more independent nature of our Sixth Form lessons. Discussion-based, tutorial-style sessions allow more in-depth study; students develop skills which provide a strong foundation for continued learning and a passion for their subjects.

All students study at least three A Levels and many take an additional subject alongside their A Levels, in order to retain academic breadth, such as an AS Level or a GCSE in Astronomy or Portuguese. Thinking Skills AS Level, EPQ and Debating (ESB Level 3 award) are also offered in the Lower Sixth, in recognition of the importance of problem solving and critical thinking in university admission tests and in the world of work. All students meet with a senior member of staff during Year 11 to help them make their option choices and personal circumstances and preferences and the extent of a student’s extracurricular involvement are all relevant factors to be taken into consideration when choosing.
