Sixth Form

As an 11-18 school we are proud of our Sixth Form and the large number of pupils who voluntarily elect to study here when compulsory education finishes.

When our Year 11 pupils have completed their GCSE examinations, they may apply for a place in the Sixth Form (Year 12 and 13).

They are interviewed and counselled, often with their parents, by the Head of Sixth Form before the examination period in order to allow time for consultation with teachers.

Students then make a formal application in writing following the publication of results.

This is regarded as a mature act of commitment to the values and ethos of the school.

In the Sixth Form the students’ spiritual, academic and social development are all equally important.

We have high expectations of our Sixth Formers with regard to the contribution that they make individually and corporately to the life of the school community as senior ambassadorial members of that community as well as doing well in their studies.

This service to the community is seen in a variety of ways embracing sport, music, charitable pursuits, outward bound events, St Vincent de Paul and the Millennium Volunteers Scheme.
