Sixth Form life is lots of things…challenging, inspiring, hard work, rewarding, fun – and maybe even a little bit scary to begin with!

We’ll expect you to motivate yourself, be an independent learner and understand that you only get out of it what you’re prepared to put in. In short, Sixth Form life is what you make it – so make it fantastic!
