Welcome from Mr B A Howarth - Head of Sixth Form We are delighted that you are considering the Sixth Form at William Hulme’s Grammar School! We believe that our Sixth Form offers a memorable educational experience that will help you achieve your goals. We provide a professional learning environment that combines traditional academic values with modern facilities and new opportunities. We value each and every one of our Sixth Formers and pride ourselves on getting to know all our students individually. With over 200 students we have the optimum numbers to offer a broad range of academic opportunities and provide a high standard of education. The Sixth Form is, nevertheless, small enough numerically for every student to be known, respected and supported as an individual. Our students are a lively and diverse group of people. All new students quickly become integrated into the school community and make strong, lasting friendships. Life here is about more than just academic success. Our students develop a range of skills and personal qualities through participation in the school’s sporting programme and enrichment activities. There are some exciting opportunities here to take part in a broad range of extra-curricular activities and extend cultural, linguistic and musical interests. We recognise that the transition to Sixth Form life and then University can be a challenging time. We place great emphasis on forming a working partnership with students, parents and teachers and aim to form a constructive relationship based on trust, encouragement and support. We look forward to welcoming you to the Sixth Form next September, and to working with you over the next two years.
Ben Howarth Head of Sixth Form
