Sixth Form LearningThe Sixth Form is a unique part of the School where students follow personalised learning programmes. It is a vibrant and exciting place where significant achievement happens.

Whilst serious academic study lies at its heart, Sixth Form life represents so much more, with the opportunity to develop new skills and leadership qualities. There are a range of activities to get involved in from support charitable causes and volunteering to MUN and our sporting teams.
|
The School offers two academic pathways. Most students will pursue the world renowned IB Diploma programme studying six subjects. A smaller group of students will study for a BTEC in Business, a vocational pathway to university or the world of work.
|
Each country has its own individual entrance system for Higher Education and some universities and colleges have their own entry system. The IB Diploma Programme is recognised internationally and students are supported throughout their application process by our experienced and knowledge staff.
|
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a comprehensive and rigorous two-year curriculum, leading to examinations. Based on the pattern of no single country, it is a deliberate compromise between the specialisation required in some national systems and the breadth preferred in others.
The general objectives of the IB are to provide students with a balanced education; to facilitate geographic and cultural mobility; and to promote international understanding through a shared academic experience. In the thirty years since its founding the IB Diploma has become a symbol of academic integrity and intellectual promise. The student who satisfies its demands demonstrates a strong commitment to learning, both in terms of the mastery of subject content and in the development of the skills and discipline necessary for success in a competitive world. Whilst academic work is demanding, our students are helped with their challenges by experienced subject specialists and caring tutors. The tutor keeps an overview of progress and supports students in their hour of need. |

The IB DiplomaWe believe in learning in its broadest sense. Based on a broad curriculum and supported by an extensive range of extra curricular events and activities, our students are exposed to an exciting and fulfilling education. Happy, bright and engaged students taught by teachers who see things through children's eyes.
Value-added measures are intended to offer a fairer indication of how far a student has come, a fairer measure of how well the school has brought that student. 0.00 would indicate an average student progress with +0.50 indicating significant progress in relation to average.

Careers GuidanceThe School has a strong careers guidance programme supported by one-to-one careers counselling as part of our pastoral programmes. Upon graduation most of our students will enter one of the leading universities in the world, a wonderful way of ending their days at school.
