Personal Development Programme

“Pupils value the support that staff give them. Parents and carers are highly supportive of the school, with one saying that staff ‘exceed expectations every day’.”

— Ofsted 2023

Alongside their academic studies, all Sixth Form students take part in our comprehensive Personal Development Programme. This programme is delivered through a daily tutor schedule and weekly year group meetings, ensuring that every student receives consistent guidance, support and inspiration.

The programme is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills and awareness they need to thrive both during their time in Sixth Form and in adult life.
