The Sixth Form is in every respect the top of the school. Students are encouraged to achieve at the highest level in their academic studies. They are offered a wide range of A and AS levels and the pass rate in the top grades is impressive. All students who wish to go on to higher education do so; each year some students take places at Oxford and Cambridge.
Most Sixth Formers stay on from the main school, taking advantage of the opportunity to continue their studies with staff who know them very well. Every year, in addition, new students come into the Sixth Form to avail themselves of the unique atmosphere of a single-sex school.
A higher education programme is organised for Sixth Formers, providing close monitoring of university applications. Students practise interview techniques and receive careers advice to prepare them for situations they might face once they leave school.
Sixth Formers play a crucial part in the extra-curricular life of the school, participating in and running many of the clubs and societies both for themselves and for the younger students. They take responsibility for House activities and through the class prefect system are encouraged to build supportive relationships with younger girls.
