During the Sixth Form years students
are encouraged to become independent, responsible, self-disciplined
and highly motivated young adults who are happy, well-balanced and
stable and who know how to make value judgements. The School aims to provide access to a high quality education appropriate as far as possible, to the needs of the individual, which provides breadth of educational opportunities and experiences through academic, general and extra-curricular activities. The Sixth Form is an integral part of the School and as senior members of the community, they are given every positive and constructive opportunity to develop qualities of authority and leadership, responsibility, initiative, a caring attitude for younger pupils and to organise and run Clubs and Societies, creative and recreational activities. Care is taken to recognise the "young adult" status of the Sixth Form students. By providing a pastoral, tutorial, vocational and careers guidance structure, priority is placed on preparing students for the responsibilities and freedom of adult life. Part of the Sixth Form policy is to encourage the development of self-discipline, punctuality, courteousness to others, reliability, self-assurance and other social skills, so that students can take a full and active part in Society, in a variety of life roles.
