There are regular social events run by the Sixth Form Committee. One of the highlights of the year is undoubtedly the Sixth Form Prom, providing students and staff with an opportunity to relax and celebrate their achievements. We also arrange days out for Sixth Form students

The Sixth Form Committee is led by our Sixth Form Student Leadership Team; Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputies and Assistants. Our team is then made up of many committees who lead on areas and initiatives they are most passionate about. This includes Social, Charity, Politics, Diversity and Culture to name some. Sixth Form students are also important members of the Student Council where issues raised, by either students or staff, are addressed. The committee plays an important role in maintaining the Sixth Form’s designated environment within school.

Students have Professional Development sessions within their timetable which educate them on a range of things including safe driving, post Sixth Form options, and physical and mental health.

Throughout the Sixth Form there are a number of trips arranged for Sixth Form students, previously these have included New York, Iceland and Austria. Some of the trips are subject specific but others are open to ‘non specialists’. We also run a Sixth Form ski trip. In addition, we bring a wide range of visitors into school to talk and work with our students. Our visitors support with a range of specialist information including awareness of employment and / or apprenticeship opportunities, and health advice.

A range of indoor and outdoor sports are available through extra-curricular clubs. There is an interschool fixture list in a variety of sports in which Arthur Mellows holds a high level of success. We hold a Sixth Form Team Building Day, along with regular sporting events against other Year Groups and staff teams. We have a state of the art fitness suite that students can access. Our Sixth Form students are also given the opportunity to study for the Higher Sports Leader Award as their enrichment option which enables students to develop leadership skills within a sporting context as they support the provision offered by the College to local primary schools
