We're Dedicated to our Students
Sixth Form Life
Every week brings new opportunities beyond the classroom. From personal development and leadership to Young Enterprise, cookery, volunteering and peer mentoring, our enrichment programme helps you discover new interests and build valuable skills. You'll also be guided every step of the way by our supportive pastoral team, with personalised input from your Head of Year, Deputy Head of Sixth Form and form tutor.
Learning
Freedom and FocusOur Sixth Form curriculum offers real freedom and focus, with 27 A‑Level subjects to choose from, you can tailor your programme around your interests and strengths, whether that's three A‑Levels, three plus an AS or EPQ, or Core Maths. Behind every subject you choose stands a team of specialist teachers offering regular one-to-one tutorials, personalised reviews and academic support, ensuring you reach your full potential. At the same time, our dedicated Careers Team provides year‑round guidance from early subject choices to UCAS applications and interview preparation. One‑to‑one careers interviews, mock interviews, talks from external advisors and alumni all ensure you’re making informed, confident decisions about university, gap years or career paths.
Living
Independent LifeThe Sixth Form Centre provides a seamless blend of work and relaxation, with dedicated study pods, an ICT suite, kitchenette and bright café area leading onto a sun terrace, all designed around the feel of independent university life. The flexible seating zones cater for both quiet, focused study and lively group discussion, supported by school‑wide Wi‑Fi and an atmosphere that encourages balance, focus and friendship. Plus, students enjoy special access to the nearby Botanical Gardens, offering a peaceful outdoor space to read, socialise or reflect, perfect for downtime and fresh perspective between lessons.
Leading
Encouraging ConfidenceLeadership thrives in our Sixth Form. Girls can apply for formal roles such as Head Girl, Deputy Head, or positions on the Sixth Form Committee, including PR & Marketing Representatives, Charity Ambassador or Poet Laureate. Many also choose to mentor younger students, leading clubs or acting as peer tutors in the Senior School, or engaging with Prep and Nursery pupils through reading, sports or creative workshops. These opportunities encourage confidence, empathy and real-world experience, so you don’t just develop academically; you learn how to inspire and empower others.
