Sixth Form Life
In the Sixth Form we provide a supportive community to broaden horizons, gain expertise and prepare students for their bright futures. Sixth Form students have privileges which reflect their growing sense of responsibility and role within the school, as well as having their own space to study and unwind.
Tilley House is the Sixth Form Centre with a large, comfortable common room and a constant supply of tea, coffee, toast and biscuits. The Heads of Tilley (two Upper Sixth students) manage the ordering of supplies and all Sixth Form students are expected to help with the running of Tilley. There are personal study rooms for quiet study.
The Head of Sixth Form, Head of Careers and other Sixth Form teaching staff are based in Tilley, and are on hand to support for our Sixth Form students.

School Officers and Prefects
There are many leadership opportunities for our Sixth Form students and we are keen for them to show both responsibility and creativity as they adopt new roles within the school.
In the Lower Sixth, students are encouraged to take on responsibility in the form of duties around the school, as well as helping out in academic departments and in the Prep School.
As they move into the Upper Sixth, students can apply to be a Senior Officer and there are a wide variety of roles including Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl, Wellbeing Officer, House Captain and Head of Diversity and Equality. We encourage students to become Subject Prefects to work to promote their chosen subject within the school.
