A Sixth Form with a sense of community

The strong ethos of the secondary school will be
carried through to the new Sixth Form.

In practice this means;

  • Maximising academic achievement whilst
    developing well-rounded individuals
  • Wide choice of courses which include 'A' levels,
    BTECs and diplomas
  • Support for admission into the top universities
    (including Oxbridge) as well as vocational support
    for pupils who choose alternative career paths
  • Emphasis on the student's role as a member of the
    community

Sixth Form students will be very much a part of the whole school and will be expected to mentor younger pupils, help to run clubs and activities and lead school projects e.g. fundraising.

There will be opportunities for students to stretch themselves
with various enrichment activities;

  • Gold Duke of Edinburgh
  • Building homes for orphan children in Uganda
  • Sports and societies
  • Workshops, seminars and conferences

Our ethos in the Sixth Form is summed up in our A.C.E model with each student at the very heart of what we do.

We believe that if students give themselves fully to each area, they will grow into well-rounded, well-educated, multi-talented and mature individuals who will stand out from the crowd.

Academic
A strong ethos exists which nurtures, encourages and supports a culture of high academic standards and expectations. An appetite for learning is clearly engendered amongst students encouraging discussion, debate and discovery.

Community
The concept of making a difference and giving back to the community is a fundamental element of
Sixth Form life. Students will be expected to contribute and serve in the school and local community through a wide range of initiatives and will also be given the opportunity to build a house for orphan children in Uganda.

Enrichment
There is no disputing the fact that life in the Sixth Form will be challenging yet exciting. The enrichment area allows students to develop their interests and skills through a wide variety of clubs, societies and other events which gives students a welcome respite from study. The student elected committee plays an instrumental role in many social events throughout the year culminating in the Leavers Ball at the end of Year 13.
