Catering Facilities:

Sixth Form students have access to several food outlets on site.  Because of our position in the city centre students are welcome to purchase lunch from the numerous outlets nearby.

Learning Resource Centre:

We have a large library and learning resource centre available 4 days a week 8am-5pm and Friday from 8am to 4.30pm for Sixth Form use.  The LRC is a quiet study area.  It includes dozens of work stations, a computer room for Sixth Form only use, daily newspapers, DVD rental and access to the school wi-fi.

"Centre6":

Sixth Formers have access to a common room area, complete with comfy furniture, free wi-fi and food/drinks available.  This is a social space and is run by the Sixth Form Council

Sixth Form Council:

Council is made up of the Head Students and 2 reps from each of the 18 form groups in Years 12-13.  We meet fortnightly on a Wednesday lunchtime in M22.  Senior staff attend to hear views and get feedback from students.  Students chair and run the meeting.

Sixth Form Study Facilities:

In addition to the Learning Resource Centre, a number of spaces around the school site are made into Sixth Form study areas.  The refectory, outside of break and lunch time, is good for group work.

Enrichment Hour:

Led by Mr Pritchard, there is an hour on the timetable where we get speakers from education, industry and employers in to talk about their work to help students get a better understanding of the jobs market.  Details of the program can be found on the "Enrichment" section of the website.

Renaissance:

We run a series of events and support for pupils thinking of applying for Oxbridge or Russell Group universities.  Led by our expert, Mr Bishop, details can be found by clicking on the "Renaissance" pages on the website.

Sports Facilities:

Sixth Form students have access to a wide variety of sports facilities including all-weather tennis courts, a gym, basketball courts and access to various school teams.  Please see the PE Department for details.

"Help When You Need It":

We know that life in the Sixth Form isn't always easy.  We have a number of staff there to help you when you need it, led by Mr Butters, our Lay Chaplain Mr Savage, Pastoral Support Worker Ms Brickell and Student & Family Support Worker Miss Pointer. Referrals are usually through either your Form Tutor or Assistant Director of Sixth Form.
