Sixth FormValues

We care about each and every student. All students belong to a tutor group with a tutor whom they will see at least twice a day. This tutor gets to know the individuals in their form and acts as a mentor. There are regular integration activities organised by our Senior Prefects and Prefects for both Year 12 and Year 13 students to ensure that they can learn from each other.

This promotes the sense of community in our Sixth Form and ensures that students support each other at all times. The Head of SixthForm and her team are on hand to also provide advice, informed guidance and pastoral support.

As well as studying for A Levels, time is also allocated for independent study, support for higher education and careers and enrichment activities.We aim to provide students with a rounded education to enable them to make their mark in the world.

We closely monitor student progress. Attainment and Attitude for Learning grades are made available to parents/carers and students through termly progress checks.

Parents/carers are kept informed throughout the years of study and students receive one full school report at the end of Year 13 plus a Parents’ Evening a year to discuss, not only the subjects being studied, but also the aspirations and needs of the students.

The vast majority of students go on to further study but due to changes to university financing, and that further study does not suit all our learners we also support our young people who wish to seek apprenticeships or employment upon leaving the Sixth Form.
