Studying in the Sixth Form

The choice of subjects is extensive, and due to our link with Highcliffe School, we have almost 70 different options available.  It is truly almost impossible not to find a subject that meets your needs, or to find a timetable that we can’t meet.  If you want to follow a very academic route, a more practical one, or one that combines both then we can tailor a course to meet your needs.

Current students are studying the following courses, but there are many others also available:                         

English Literature, Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Business Studies, Economics, Law, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Art and Textiles, Art, Photography, Dance, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Psychology, Physical Education, Home Economics, Drama and Theatre Studies, Music, Music Technology, ICT, and Media Studies.

We run a formal Oxbridge course to support students looking to enter Russell Group universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.

The Sixth Form experience is designed to provide a broad and stimulating Enrichment Programme built around this core of formal subject studies, together with participation in the school’s Activities Programme. Students are mentored in the skills needed for university and job applications and interviews, develop public speaking and debating skills, attend workshops or seminars (sometimes at other schools) which bring them into contact with people from all walks of life, and travel around the country to interviews or Open Days at universities and other Higher Education establishments. A Visiting Speakers’ Programme introduces students to a range of professional and inspirational perspectives from outside the school.
