Benefits of a Co-Ed Sixth Form

  • Studying in a real-world environment
  • Better preparation for university where it is co-ed
  • Benefitting from competition between the sexes and from adapting to the different viewpoints and outlooks of males and females
  • Girls achieve the same results in a co-ed sixth form as they do in a single sex sixth form; boys achieve better results in a co-ed sixth form than they do in a single sex sixth form: so why would you choose a single sex sixth form if you want the best results?
  • Natural relationships with the opposite sex; more normal behaviour between the sexes
  • Huge benefits in areas of:
    •  sport: in many sports girls compete with the boys and raise their levels of performance.
    • Music: we find boys and girls complement each other in the orchestra, the chamber choir, the rock bands, the calypso band; the percussion ensemble, the jazz band and in all musical ensembles, and also in their recording work.
    • Art: the mixing of the sexes encourages greater variety of artistic expression and allows students to learn from each other in a more effective manner.
    • Performing Arts and Drama: No need for girls to play boys, or vice versa.  So much more fun and variety in a co-ed production, and a greater range of styles possible.
  • It’s fun to chill out with boys and girls in free time, and after school hours
