Sixth Form Learning

The 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 get involved in activities, support charitable causes and show real leadership.

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. However, the IB Diploma Programme is recognised internationally and students should generally find that their IB Diploma Programme and subject grades are easily understood by different universities and colleges.

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 Diploma

We 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.
