Epping St Johns Church of England School

The Sixth Form at ESJ is a rich and vibrant community of students and teachers who are committed to achieving excellence in everything they do. Our recent OFSTED inspection commended our “impressive and growing Sixth Form” which was reflected further by our A Level and BTEC exam results this summer, with 30% of our students achieving A*-A grades.

The choices you make in terms of your Post 16 education is paramount. At ESJ Sixth Form, we offer Year 11 students the perfect transition, which is supportive and effective for both our current students and those joining us from outside the school. It is a time of opportunities and experiences; academic, social and cultural, and we aim to help students to successfully complete their formal education before moving on to university, apprenticeships or work. Our Sixth Form at ESJ creates a caring and inspirational learning environment within the context of Christian values where every student is highly valued.

We offer a range of A Level and vocational courses in 28 subjects as well as an extra-curricular and broad enrichment programme which ensures we develop confident, intelligent, resilient and ambitious young adults.

Our Sixth Form students play an important and valuable role in our school, contributing actively to the wider life of the school community. They lead events with younger students, demonstrating tremendous leadership and motivation.

Sixth Form students are heavily involved in the Lower School and are given leadership roles and responsibilities in the form of mentoring younger students, running clubs, supporting in lessons and as reading mentors. This ensures the connection between the Sixth Form and main school year groups, providing aspiration and insight to Sixth Form life for younger years. At the same time there is opportunity to provide service to the school and the wider community, a valuable learning experience for later life.
