Hitchin Boys' School

We are pleased that you are considering studying at the Hitchin Sixth Form Consortium. It is a Consortium of Hitchin Boys’ School, Hitchin Girls’ School and The Priory School. Whether you are continuing with us from Y11, or joining from another school, you will have access to, and benefit from, academic and pastoral support, an integrated enrichment programme and a wide range of extra-curricular activities. 

Being part of a school Sixth Form is more than studying for qualifications. There are a variety of significant contributions you can make as a sixth form student to your school and the Consortium including mentoring younger students, taking part in our ambassador programme or leading extra-curricular clubs. These in turn will be of further benefit to you when you move on to higher education or employment. 

The Consortium has existed for over 20 years and we constantly review what we offer and seek ways of improving still further the opportunities for post-16 students. By working closely and creatively together we are able to continue to expand our offer of a wide range of A level, L3 BTEC, Technical and AAQ qualifications. 

Each of the schools in the Consortium has excellent arrangements in place to guide you in making your choices. We will provide advice, designed to offer you the most appropriate programme. After reading this prospectus carefully do talk to your teachers, Heads of Year, Heads of Sixth Form, Careers Advisers and students already following the courses in which you are interested. You will then be able to make your choices from an informed position. 

In the meantime, we wish you every success in your studies.
