The sixth form provides you with a varied curriculum that caters for all abilities. We encourage students in year 12 to start with 4 A levels to increase flexibility in their programme of study. Students have the opportunity to mix A Levels with BTEC or Technical qualifications or they can take these vocational qualifications as a stand-alone qualification. If students preferred method of learning is more hands on then the sixth form offer a small range of vocational qualifications leading directly into that career path.
Students in year 12 will have 4 lessons of their chosen subject per week, and students in year 13 will have 4 lessons of their chosen subject per week, plus an independent study session to accompany that subject. Each lesson is 1 hour in duration and there are 5 lessons a day.
During the day, there will be independent study time on your timetable. This is an opportunity to complete:
Work Experience to enhance your CV
Complete homework
Online courses – Future learn
Support lower school lessons with mentoring/buddy reading/numeracy work
