Introduction from the Head of Sixth Form

WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF SIXTH FORM

The Sixth Form Leadership Team would like to offer you a warm welcome as you consider the next stage of your academic journey.

As you near the completion of your studies in Year 11, there are undoubtedly important decisions to be made. The starting point is to select the educational environment that offers you the support and guidance you need to achieve your potential. By doing so, the transition from Key Stage 4 to adulthood will be as effortless, effective and enjoyable as possible.

We believe we are here to provide you with the tools to develop into a well-rounded individual. We will offer you the support you require to experience academic success, but just as importantly, to enable you to develop the vital skills you need for your future, whatever pathway you may choose to take.

Our strong pastoral provision is delivered by experienced tutors, supported by the extended pastoral team, offering an essential point of contact and continuity throughout your time in the Sixth Form. Your personal tutor will support you through challenging times and be there to celebrate your individual successes.

Alongside your chosen subjects and embedded within the Sixth Form Programme, are a series of Wainwright Lectures that aim to broaden your knowledge and understanding of the wider world, enabling you to become a more responsible citizen.

You will be challenged, not only in the academic setting, but also through outdoor activities, helping you to develop leadership skills, learning to communicate effectively and overcoming challenges you may never have thought possible.

We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant Sixth Form community and helping you to embrace all the opportunities on offer.
