Welcome to the Sixth Form blog.
Whether you're thinking of joining us after finishing your GCSEs or already a student, in the stories below you'll find a range of great advice and perspectives on what life is like when studying your A-Levels. By giving students this platform and allowing them to write in their own voice, we hope to provide an honest, accessible and helpful view on school and exams. All our blog posts come directly from our students and staff and aim to address what we think are the most-pressing issues for people taking, or about to take, their A-Levels.
We hope you enjoy reading this blog and if you have any questions or queries please get in touch with the Sixth Form via the Contact Us page.
