Curriculum & Student Support


Curriculum


Our sixth form is dedicated to creating a vibrant and inclusive learning community where students can explore their passions, develop essential life skills, and prepare for a fulfilling future. We provide a curriculum that encourages intellectual, emotional, and social growth, nurturing well-rounded individuals who are confident, compassionate, and ready to contribute positively to society. Through a range of diverse and engaging opportunities, we foster creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, enabling students to discover their unique talents and interests. Our supportive and inclusive environment values personal development, encourages self-expression, and promotes the well-being of every student. We are committed to empowering our students to thrive, not only academically, but also as individuals who are prepared to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the ever-changing world.

GCE A Levels

Students receive four hours of dedicated teaching per subject – the teaching generally split between two different teachers. In addition, students are expected to use three hours per subject non-contact time for research and private study during the college day. Extra assignments will be regularly set as homework.

BTEC Courses

These are available in Art and Design, Fashion Design, Music and Physical Education and are modular based with the emphasis on coursework. Advanced Level and BTEC success can also significantly enhance career prospects for those who wish to enter employment at the end of two years in Sixth Form.
