SIXTH FORM DIPLOMA
Our Sixth Form Diploma is an exciting framework of opportunities within supra-curricular, personal growth and leadership and service, built around our core A-Level offering
The Sixth Form Diploma is designed to be a choice-driven, well supported and bespoke framework that empowers students to develop skills of value beyond schooling or qualifications, and to be able to evidence their achievements and development better.
A-Level success remains at the core of the Sixth Form journey but it has never been more important to ensure that young adults develop values and skills via experiences and opportunities that go far beyond their academic qualifications, and in a way that supports ambition, success and wellbeing for the students’ futures beyond school.
Supported by subject teachers, tutors and the Sixth Form team, the Diploma builds on the excellent academic, pastoral and co-curricular offering to create a guided framework from which students can develop their individual pathway.
