Throughout their time in Senior School, we prepare our pupils for their eventual transition to Sixth Form and support them as they develop the habits and skills they will need to succeed in adult life.

We provide all the information and advice required to guide students and their parents carefully as they decide on the next school. In year 10 the students will attend an informal Future Schools evening which outlines the requirements and scheduling of their sixth form applications.  Further to this, conversations with, and advice from, the school allows sensible and happy choices to be made.  The school will supply references and GCSE predictions, as well as providing interview practice and scholarship support. The students are fully part of this process.

Beyond Sixth Form, the majority of our students go to Russell Group Universities.
