When students enter the sixth form, it is at a transitional time of life. Social pressures of school become important as well as achieving at A Level. As Director of the Sixth Form, I am aware of these issues and so to achieve your full potential I will ensure that the Sixth Form team support and nurture you during the time you are with us.

Through a carefully planned enrichment programme students can be well prepared for their future pathway, be it university or work. Considerable time is spent on preparation for university, with a carefully planned tutorial programme.

We value the enormous contribution Sixth Formers can make to the life of the whole school community, and encourage students to develop their talents and abilities through a wide range of activities, both in and out of school. In year 12 you will undertake one week of work experience that will build on and reinforce your work experience from year 10.

I am very proud of our sixth form; our team will do their utmost so that you select and have a successful, well-balanced A level curriculum. I hope you will meet new friends and develop both socially and academically; our aim is for every student to follow a curriculum that is varied and stimulating and which provides a sound basis from which to apply for university or work.
