We aim to offer all-round education to our Sixth Form students. We encourage them to make the most of their academic talents but also to develop skills, hobbies and interests which will stay with them into their adult lives. That\u2019s why we offer an extensive Sixth Form extra-curricular programme.<\/p>\n
Sixth Form extra-curricular activities are held at lunchtimes, after school, at weekends and even during the holidays. There are also over 50 activities within the timetable, all of which students are welcomed to get involved in. These include cheerleading, computer programming, chess, debating, russian, climbing, financial maths, knitting, yoga and gardening.<\/p>\n
