which can offer the opportunity of careers and mentoring support . These relationships help to ensure that our students are supported on every level through their personalised study programmes and towards fulfilling their potential .
WORKING TOGETHER
The partnerships with their peers that are built during Sixth Form are also crucial to students ’ individual successes , laying foundations for a bright future through respecting and supporting one another , and sharing the inevitable challenges and achievements that lie ahead .
Sixth Form students enjoy the privilege of our Sixth Form centre , where they can work quietly , in small groups , or in a more relaxed setting in specially designated areas which include individual work stations , an impressive café area and wifi access throughout . Students value the opportunities to meet with other students and staff , working individually and together in these custom-designed spaces .
The centre also has easy access to the Sixth Form mezzanine in our school library , equipped with Sixth Form subject resources and ICT facilities . Offices for the Head of Sixth Form , Mr Tim Morris , and Sixth Form staff are also located in the centre to ensure that help is always on hand .
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Sixth Form students are encouraged to take on challenges beyond their academic studies , developing their personal qualities and values by exploring their individual talents and discovering new areas of interest .
An extensive range of co-curricular activities , clubs and societies , and volunteering opportunities means that there really is ‘ something for everyone ’ – whether that is as part of our sporting , musical and dramatic programmes , our Community Action volunteering scheme , or through one of the many clubs and activities ranging from Debating and Duke of Edinburgh through to Engineering and Young Enterprise .
Sixth Form also offers students the prestigious opportunity to become ambassadors and role models for other members of the school community . There is a wide range of over 70 leadership opportunities – from school prefect , house prefect , boarding prefect , to subject assistants , CCF NCOs and sports ’ captains or mentors and organisers of house events or activities for our younger pupils . These responsibilities develop students ’ confidence and collaborative skills , whilst demonstrating their commitment and allowing them to play a key and fulfilling role in school life .
