Sixth form prospectus

Students and parents are warmly invited to join us at our Sixth Form Open Evening on Wednesday 22 November 2023 from 5:00pm-7:00pm. A short introductory talk will commence at 17.00 followed by curriculum breakout sessions focusing on the IB Diploma and IB Careers-related Programme. The evening will also feature information on our University and Apprenticeship Pathways Programme, in addition to the opportunity to speak to representatives from a range of universities and leading apprenticeship experts. These sessions will be repeated at 18:00 for those unable to attend the first talks.

The evening will also feature the opportunity to talk to Sixth Form teachers about individual IB subjects, followed by a tour of the school which will include a visit to our brand new Sixth Form Centre. The evening will provide parents and students with essential information about our world-class IB curriculum, the excellent destinations secured by our students, and the culture of individual support and aspirational extracurricular opportunities which have contributed to our ‘Outstanding’ status (OFSTED, 2022). The Sixth Form Open Evening is a vital part of the process of application for the Sixth Form and we hope that all students will be able to attend with their parents.

Head of Sixth Form & IB coordinator
