Sixth Form at LRGS was such an important experience as it taught me about independence. The opportunity to choose between university courses and subjects and the chance to lead extra-curricular programmes proved important for learning about acting independently and the responsibility that comes with it. Ultimately I felt that everyone was allowed to make their own decisions and enjoy school at their own pace.

"The thing I enjoyed most about the LRGS Sixth Form was being challenged academically and learning in such a supportive environment. I benefitted most from dialogue, discussion and debate in lessons – there was no hiding at the back of the class."
