Welcome to Katharine Lady Berkeley's School

The Sixth Form at Katharine Lady Berkeley’s Sixth Form is thriving and successful, providing a challenging and supportive learning environment that encourages all students to achieve their very best.We are proud to share the consistently strong outcomes achieved by our Year 13 students over recent years. When we talk about results, we aim to challenge the myth that exceptional grades can only be achieved with very high entry requirements. In reality, our entry standards are highly competitive, and what matters most to us is the excellent progress our students make. This has been recognised and reinforced through the Department for Education’s performance tables, which highlight progress measures alongside other key data for providers across Gloucestershire and beyond.The last three full OFSTED reports (2008, 2012 and 2017) have rated the achievement of students and quality of provision in our sixth form as being outstanding.Miss J Campion, Head of Sixth Form
