Sixth Form Curriculum


Your time in the Sixth Form can be one of the most formative periods of your life. You have the opportunity to specialise and to concentrate in depth on a few subjects that really interest you and that will help you choose your future career. Our small classes and dedicated teachers will enable you to follow your enthusiasms and develop your own interests.

In the Lower Sixth you will usually study AS Level courses in 4 subjects, spending 10 periods per fortnight on each subject. You will also be able to enjoy a wide-ranging programme of sport, enrichment and university preparation.

In the Upper Sixth you will continue your study of 3 or 4 subjects to A2 Level and again be able to participate in a programme of sport, enrichment and university preparation. 10 periods per fortnight are devoted to each A2 subject.
