SIXTH FORM SUBJECTS

A Broad and Challenging Curriculum

The approach to learning in the Sixth Form has been carefully designed to bridge the gap between school and university and to give pupils the best chance of reaching their full potential. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning whilst benefiting from collaborative thinking. The broad and challenging curriculum is supported by personal academic guidance, balanced with a targeted enrichment programme.

Elective Subjects

In year 1, alongside three A Levels, pupils will take an additional elective subject which will lead to a further qualification to include on your CV.
