The primary purpose for completing your school life with us is to realise your full potential in the subjects that you have chosen to study for A Level, and so to enable you to take the next step on your career path. However, there are many other valuable opportunities that will enrich the Sixth Form experience and will help each student grow as an individual. These may include being involved in a play, team sports, music groups for singing and instrumental playing, and participation in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, Model United Nations, Young Enterprise and the School Magazine. The Enrichment Programme and Community Service are also an integral part of experience in the Lower Sixth and there is an additional opportunity to participate in a team challenge expedition and community work in more remote places abroad. These activities support the academic programme.
The school is a community where you can take responsibility for running a club or a leadership role as a Form Attachment, Prefect or House Captain. There are significant privileges with the greater freedoms given to you. Even though many lessons are in the main part of the school, there is a sense of being set apart, in the Centre. The space is a welcome retreat but you remain part of the wider school community. Your leadership, involvement and example are highly valued. Indeed, this is one of the factors that distinguish the school from a college.
Steady hard work is very important but it is also necessary to keep a balance and punctuate work with good fun. To that end we have social events so we can relax together on site, for example having video evenings with pizza or fish and chips have proved to be popular.
