The Sixth Form
Community Spirit

Teachers and students run for charity

In Year 12, early in the autumn term, Sixth Form students take part in an activity-based residential visit.  This is an important opportunity for students to get to know one another and their tutors.  Workshops and motivational sessions are on offer and your daughter will also enjoy new challenges, such as rock-climbing, problem solving and team building exercises.

The Head of Sixth Form and her deputy, together with our Sixth Form tutors maintain a close relationship with the students, ensuring that each individual aims to fulfil her personal and academic potential.

Once in the Sixth Form, our students continue to play an important part in the School community.  Although their daily life is much more independent we expect them to continue their concern for the welfare of others, both within the school and the wider community.

As your daughter progresses through the school, she will be able to take on increasing responsibility, participating, if she wishes, in mentoring schemes such as Big Sister which provides help and advice for junior girls, leading an extra-curricular activity or organising a full-scale show for charity.  She may choose to take on the special challenges involved in peer mentoring projects which are staffed entirely by Sixth Formers.  Two of these provide personal tuition for inner city primary school children; the other gives individual support to our own junior pupils.
