To this end, we provide comprehensive careers and progression guidance throughout your time with us.Our Sixth Form students are valued members of the whole school community, taking part in open days, peer mentoring schemes, awards evenings and whole school events. They are visible and positive role models for younger students and an integral part of day to day school life.
