Sixth FormPrepare to take flight

At King Edward’s our global outlook and individualised approach to learning is reassuring and life changing for our Sixth Form pupils. We provide space for dynamic, ambitious learning and achievement within a diverse community that is proud to be kind, unprejudiced and positively future facing.

Sixth Form is a key time in your lives when life-long friendships are formed, and your future direction of travel begins to move in to clearer focus. With broad horizons ahead, your Sixth Form experience at King Edward’s will be an exceptionally vibrant, engaging and formative one as you zone in on your individual areas of passion and academic interest, beginning the journey of discovering where those passions may take you.

Skills for life ahead

During these two years, we place great emphasis on fostering an agile mind set and ways of working that encourage greater independence though critical thinking, enquiry and analysis, alongside developing all important ‘human’ skills focused on engendering positive relationships, excellent presentation and communication capability and leadership qualities.

Our highly qualified and dedicated teachers not only provide academic excellence though a framework of individualised learning, structure and support, but also create a rich environment where you will grow and flourish in your chosen subjects. We strive to provide a blend of structure and independence during your time with us, and to offer the broadest possible academic, co-curricular and social experiences as we support you in all aspects of choosing your future university or career options.

We work alongside you, cementing the groundwork together and you prepare to take flight and travel through life with skill, confidence and happiness.
