We believe you are more likely to succeed in an environment in which you are known as an individual and not as a number. Because we know our students well, we know how to support them and push them to achieve.
Our class sizes ensure that students get valuable 1-2-1 support in lessons. Some of our lessons operate with just 12-15 students.
Moving to Post-16 study involves gaining greater freedom with your time. You will be studying fewer courses than you did at GCSE and therefore will have additional time on your timetable to use as you wish. We may be a Sixth Form, but you are not expected to attend school when you do not have registered periods. Most of our students have free periods for 2 mornings and and afternoon each week.
This means more time for:
- a job
- the gym
- or anything else you want!
Sixth Form is about more than just the lessons that you study, it is about the experiences that support you to become your future self. We offer a wide range of extra curricular activities including: table tennis, badminton, pickleball, Social Enterprise and investment clubs, Duke of Edinburgh Programme, War Hammer painting, Chess Club, magazine writing, 3D Printing and much more besides. If we don’t offer it, why not start it!

It is important that you receive regular feedback on your progress through assessments so that you have the opportunity to apply your class-based understanding to the types of questions you will receive in external examinations. In addition to in-class assessment (Portfolios) there are also three periods of mock examinations. These take place in June of Year 12 and December and March of Year 13. At this point you will experience the pressure of preparing for and sitting multiple exams in a short space of time.

SRE
We recognise that Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) is lifelong learning about physical, moral and emotional development. It is about the importance of stable and loving relationships including marriage for family life, as well as other relationships such as civil partnerships. SRE is about respect, love and care. SRE provides pupils with factual knowledge and an understanding of the influences on young people, encouraging them to be aware of the options open to them and to take charge of decisions about their own behaviour. It encourages the development of personal and interpersonal skills, the awareness and respect of self and others and encourages reflection and responsibility. It is a driver for ensuring that pupils behave safely in their attitudes and actions regarding sex and relationships.
Further information can be found in our SRE policy.
