The Sixth Form prides itself on the outstanding academic achievements of its students, which stem from a commitment to realising each girl’s potential. Girls are encouraged to take intellectual risks, think independently, and push themselves beyond expectations. The Sixth Form offers a broad selection of A-Level subjects, taught by dedicated experts in small classes that foster rapid progress. This environment not only prepares students for top universities but also for future careers. Independent learning, intellectual curiosity, and active engagement are key to success, supported by regular communication with parents.
Learning extends beyond the classroom, with opportunities for language immersion trips, leadership development and participation in competitions. Sixth Form students are encouraged to explore scholarly activities that make learning an exciting and dynamic experience.
