Sixth Form Academic

Our curriculum is wide enough to suit a broad range of interests and we aim to ensure that a great variety of subject combinations are accommodated in the timetable.

You can study all of the traditional academic subjects like Chemistry and English, pick up a new subject like Psychology, or pursue your creative interests in, for example, Music or Drama.

Your subject choices will be based on your strengths and, of course, your preferences, but they will also importantly take account of your ambitions for Higher Education and life after school.

On a practical note, most students study three subjects for A Level. Each subject usually consists of six lessons a week, with an additional expectation of four to six hours of independent study.

There is also the opportunity to take the EPQ (Extended Project Qualification), an independent research project which is viewed favourably by universities. Sixth formers can also study a Business OCR Cambridge Technical qualification which offers a more vocational pathway for students.
 

We also offer the Extended Project Qualification which can be taken alongside the A Level programme. 

Our PSHE/Extended Learning programme in the Sixth Form helps prepare students for the challenges they may encounter whilst at school or in the future as young adults.
