Choosing the right Sixth Form course is a difficult decision. As well as doing lots of thinking about your strengths and weaknesses and what interests you, you will need to read the course booklet carefully and talk to your subject teachers, form tutor and parents. We also hold a Sixth Form Surgery for students and parents across one week during the application process. This is an ideal opportunity to talk through any concerns you might have about your choices. If you are not sure about what you want to do when you leave the Sixth Form, choose a course you enjoy and where you are most likely to succeed. A Levels and Vocational subjects are demanding courses and you won’t want to do the hard work necessary for success if you’re not interested and motivated in the subjects you are studying.

Yes – every year we have a considerable number of students who study a mixture of the more traditional A Level courses with the more vocational courses. We will offer you guidance and support to ensure that you are taking courses that are tailored to your strengths and aspirations.
