Your growth from a teenager into a young adult goes beyond academic achievements and to support this we provide a comprehensive guidance programme which is delivered through our tutor groups; led by our sixth form team including our expert tutors. We aim to support you as a confident member of society with outstanding academic qualifications.
This programme is bespoke to our students needs but covers many aspects and engages outside agencies and guest speakers. We provide guidance on looking after your finances to driving safely alongside taking care of your mental wellbeing, sexual health and being informed about the dangers of risk taking behaviour. Our emphasis on student support and welfare reflects our commitment to ensuring our young people are safe and happy.
Our guidance programme also recognises the important decisions you will be making about your future. Our sixth Form team supports you in developing the skills you will need to take you both to university and beyond. The decision regarding what you want to study, and the university you choose, is a very important one. We guide and support you through this decision-making process encouraging you to think about your strengths and interests throughout Year 12. Our guidance programme helps you broaden your horizons through weekly taster lectures, careers talks and university visits. Where possible, we encourage students to feed into these decisions to ensure we cover a range of student interests and aspirations.
We have developed successful partnerships with a vast range of universities and our sixth form team have an exceptional understanding of the demands of the vast array of different courses on offer at UK and International universities. We help guide you to make the right choices.
