Sixth Form

There is a thriving academic ethos in the Sixth Form that firmly puts our girls on the road to success in their future careers.  It also ensures that they are well equipped for life in the adult world.

We are able to offer a wide range of subjects at both AS and A Level and our flexible timetabling allows the girls to choose from an enormous range of subject combinations. We give a great deal of guidance and information on subject choice and careers.

The Sixth Form, like the rest of the school, gives our girls the opportunity to develop a range of skills. There is a wide choice of clubs, events and activities which the Sixth Formers organise for themselves and the younger girls.  Our Sixth Formers also take a leadership role in school and their contribution is greatly valued.
 
We aim to treat the girls as students rather than school pupils and our purpose built Sixth Form Wing ensures that this is a successful policy.  An impressive area, the wing is exclusive to the Sixth Form students and includes teaching rooms, a reading room with good ICT facilities for private study and a large common room.  The girls also make regular use of the school’s well-stocked library.

We believe we not only help the girls to achieve outstanding results but also set the foundation for a fulfilling and happy life after school.  Almost all our students go on to Higher Education with a number each year taking up places at Oxford or Cambridge and at Medical and Law Schools.  Girls go on to follow a wide range of other degree courses including Science, Modern Languages, Engineering and Art.
