Welcome to Chilwell School

Welcome from Our Head of Sixth Form

As you embark on your Post-16 journey, this is an exciting time in your life—where you start narrowing your focus, gaining more independence, and exploring what you truly want to achieve in the world. My vision as Head of Sixth Form is to create an environment where you can thrive, grow, and become the best version of yourself. At Lakeview Sixth Form, we work together to turn this vision into a reality.

The Lakeview building itself is a dynamic and vibrant learning space, offering you ample opportunities to study, socialise, and connect with your peers and the sixth form team. This environment is designed to foster both academic success and personal growth. It’s a place where you can find the support you need and take ownership of your learning journey.

One of the things that sets Lakeview apart is our exceptional team of dedicated professionals. From high-quality teaching to pastoral care and career guidance, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals. We believe that a strong, supportive team is key to ensuring you have the best possible experience during your time with us.

In addition to your academic studies, we offer a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities that will help you develop as a well-rounded, balanced, and future-ready individual. My ambition is that, when you leave Lakeview Sixth Form, you will have developed a unique personal brand—something that sets you apart and reflects your experiences, achievements, and passions.

I look forward to meeting each of you personally, and I am excited for what lies ahead. The next two years will be both challenging and rewarding, and we will be here to support you every step of the way. I hope this handbook helps you understand how we work and what you can expect from us during your time here.

Yours sincerely,
Jason Nichols
Head of Sixth Form

Chilwell School Sixth Form offers independent learning within the framework of a supportive structure. We believe in all our students and staff aiming to be the best versions of themselves. This ethos incorporates a focus on excellent A-Level results but more than that, nurturing curiosity, interest and achievement beyond the A-Level curriculum.

Debating Club

Debating matters because your ideas and opinions matter. Debates are worth having. Topics will involve issues that have an impact on the world. They affect the way in which we understand and relate to those around us. Now is the time to take ideas seriously. Challenge yourself! Get involved with a broad range of contemporary real-world scientific, political and cultural debates.

Gold Duke of Edinburgh

For those looking for a new challenge or wishing to continue with ones already started, we have a well established and highly successful DofE awards team within Chilwell school sixth form. There may be an opportunity to continue onto your Gold award or, numbers permitting, perhaps try DofE for the first time. Completing the award at any level is always an achievement, with more and more universities and employers looking upon successful awardees favourably with the knowledge that they are able to offer commitment, responsibility and perseverance.

Voluntary Work

All students will be encouraged to undertake voluntary work in addition to academic studies.
