Beyond the Academic
Our students’ academic achievements are only part of the picture. At Lady Lumley’s sixth form
you are encouraged to develop a confident and outward-looking approach to life through a wide
range of extra-curricular activities. There are many opportunities for you to develop your interests
alongside your academic studies. You will have the opportunity to further develop your talents and
demonstrate your leadership and organisational skills.
Personal Development Programme
We want our students to leave the sixth form with the best possible life chances and so we
offer an extensive ‘Personal Development Programme’ which includes careers and destinations
advice. We also invite guest speakers from business, industry and universities to further inspire
and engage our students. Students have the opportunity to attend work experience placements
during enrichment on Wednesday afternoons (or at other agreed times around their timetable
commitments). We employ an independent careers advisor who works with students to explore
courses in Higher Education, apprenticeships or routes to employment; and students have access to
a well-resourced careers library. For those thinking about Higher Education, our very experienced
sixth form team ensure our UCAS procedures for entry to university are excellent. And, of course,
we keep a careful eye on each individual student’s progress throughout their courses, with advice
and support being given wherever necessary.
