Information

All pupils in Year 13 study 3 or 4 subjects to AS Level and most continue with 3 subjects in Year 14 to the full A Level qualification. A number of pupils continue with 4 subjects to A2 Level. The Sixth Form timetable also includes periods of compulsory Supervised Study.

In the Sixth Form, pupils have classes in Careers and Study Skills. There is also a General Studies programme in Year 14 where a variety of courses are on offer, such as current affairs, horticulture, philosophy, survival cookery, sign language, yoga and volunteering. We often have guest speakers in school to offer advice and support on a range of relevant topics. We provide a range of Games options on a Wednesday afternoon and encourage as many pupils as possible to get involved.

"With special memories created through sporting victories, spectacular concerts and school trips, life in the sixth form equips students with the qualities and skills, enabling them to excel in a wide range of careers, holding close the Quaker values fostered here at Friends’."
