Where next?
Sixth Form Enrichment
We passionately believe in enriching your A-level studies through a wide range of activities. From drama to volunteering, societies to sport, we want your experience in the Sixth Form to be bursting with energy and opportunity.
Sixth Form is a really exciting time and a more independent lifestyle just two short years away! At SGS we believe that life is about more than qualifications, as important as they are.
We are here to help you make the big decisions that will shape the direction of your life.
Sixth Form Programme
Every Wednesday afternoon, all of our sixth form students have the whole afternoon to follow our Sixth Form Programme. We host an interesting range of guest speakers, representing a wide range of universities and apprenticeships. There are talks and workshops ranging from driving awareness to life skills. Panels are held with our former students to give you an insight into life at university and settling in. Our students often give back to the local community through volunteering, undertake work experience or volunteer in our own Prep. School.
Enrichment takes many forms – from chatting over tea and toast in the common room to mentoring younger students.
Wednesday afternoons also include a games session for sixth form students, where you are able to choose from a wide range of sports (such as badminton, basketball, football, cricket, hockey, netball, rugby and tennis) or join the Zumba class or make use of our own fitness suite which houses modern fitness equipment such as treadmills, rowing machines, cross-trainers, exercise bikes and a specialist weight training room.
EPQ
Our students have the opportunity to study for the EPQ qualification, which allows for in-depth research in an area of interest whilst being mentored by an experienced subject specialist. The EPQ offers a great opportunity to follow your own interests and provides an excellent talking point for university interviews.
