What's going on in the 6th Form?

Activities
We encourage all our students to get involved with other activities as well as academic study. All our IB students have to take part in 'Creativity, Action, Service' as part of their course and this year we have launched a series of long and short courses for our A level students to support and broaden their courses.

Senior Prefects and Head Students

Opportunities are offered to all Sixth Formers to exercise leadership.   During the second term in Y12 invitations are issued to become a Senior Prefect.  The Senior Prefect team plays a vital role in the life of the school, acting as Student Ambassadors on public occasions and supporting other Year Heads and Form Tutors.    The Head and Deputy Head Students are chosen from the team of Senior Prefects after nomination by members of the sixth form and staff and an interview with the Head Teacher.

Sixth Form students are also fully involved in our new House system, each House has a Student Head of House who works with their prefects to help run activities.
