It encourages respect for the rights of others and the need to accept responsibility in creating a caring and supportive environment.

We aim to treat all students fairly and if necessary, firmly, in line with the expectations outlined in the Sixth Form Contract. We aim to encourage our students to take responsibility regarding their learning and academic progress.
The Sixth Form at FCC aims to provide a challenging and caring environment where students are happy and successful in their academic studies. Finally, we want our students to enjoy their time in the Sixth Form and gain memorable experiences.

Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesThe Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) aims to provide an enjoyable, non-competitive, challenging and individually designed programme of personal development. A DofE Programme consists of activities across three different sections (Physical, Skills and Volunteering) which can be chosen by the individual based on their current interests or if they have a desire to try something new. The final section is the Expedition section which is undertaken in small groups where one of the aims is to be as self-sufficient as far as possible. Expedition areas include, but aren’t limited to, West Berkshire, the Brecon Beacons and the Lake District. The Award is designed to challenge participants based on where they are already and due to its diversity, offers a truly rewarding experience in a variety of ways.
