It might only seem like yesterday that students chose their GCSEs, but very quickly the focus at 6th Form switches to the future. During year 12 we will offer you support, advice and guidance about what you might choose to do next, and there are many opportunities students can take to open their eyes to the world of higher education. Below is a taste of what students can potentially get involved in, and the support that is on offer.

So going to Easter school in Oxford was not something that was taken for granted." Jess Ince
