'Never forget: life is
 expecting much of you
 and me' - Maltilda Sharp

 

 

 

 

Girls wear their own clothes, and our very small teaching groups foster friendly and supportive relationships between staff and girls. All girls entering the Sixth Form, whether old or new, are presented with the challenge of progressing to new surroundings, beginning new academic courses and achieving the life skills and confidence that they need to be successful in the future.


Sixth Form girls are clearly identifiable around the school; they do not have to wear school uniform. They are the seniors of the school and they enjoy the respect that this brings from both staff and from the younger girls. Year 11 pupils from other schools are invited into the Sixth Form for a unique Taster Day opportunity.  


We firmly believe that the best way to ensure continuing high standards is to allow each of the individuals who study here an opportunity to take responsibility for themselves as young adults. We aim to provide our pupils with a secure, and yet stimulating environment in which they can grow both intellectually and socially. Potentially, they have a very exciting two years ahead and we are here to help them realise this potential.


 

Sixth Formers take the lead in whole-school productions, concerts, fund raising, community service and assemblies.  

The School’s fine facilities include a separate Sixth Form suite with a wide range of study, IT, recreational and catering facilities for older students.



 

One of the greatest strengths of Sixth Form is the breadth of the curriculum on offer, timetabling is very flexible and all the arts, sciences, humanities, modern and classical languages are represented. In addition to the wide range of extra-curricular activities on offer to the whole school, the Sixth Form benefit from additional options.



 

  
All Sixth Formers follow an Enrichment programme, and we offer enrichment courses in Critical Thinking, General Studies, Financial Studies, LAMDA and Italian for beginners. In addition to lessons in the classroom, Sixth Formers are invited to participate in an extensive programme of excursions, in the UK and abroad, and study days.
