Life in the 6th Form

Choosing where to study after Year 11 is an important decision, and we believe Laurel Park Sixth Form is a fantastic place to take your next steps, achieve your ambitions and prepare for your future.

​

Life in the Sixth Form is very different from school. You are treated as a young adult, given greater independence and encouraged to take responsibility for your learning. There are high expectations, but also plenty of support to help you succeed. From your very first day, you will become part of a welcoming and supportive community where everyone is encouraged to aim high.

​

Our dedicated teachers provide excellent teaching, guidance and encouragement to help you achieve the best possible qualifications and prepare for life beyond Sixth Form. Whether your ambition is to attend university, secure a degree apprenticeship, pursue an apprenticeship or enter employment, you will receive dedicated careers advice and personalised support to help you make informed decisions. This includes guidance with UCAS applications, apprenticeships, work experience and future career pathways.

​

But Sixth Form life is about much more than qualifications! There are so many opportunities to develop your confidence, discover new interests and build valuable skills. You can become a Student Ambassador within a subject department, represent the Sixth Form as part of the Sixth Form Leadership Team, take part in sports teams, join clubs and societies, or get involved in community volunteering. These experiences give you the chance to have your voice heard, contribute to Sixth Form life and develop valuable leadership, teamwork and communication skills.

​

We also have fantastic facilities and enrichment opportunities, including a dedicated Sixth Form Common Room and Study Centre, a boxing gym, fitness room, work experience opportunities and a wide range of activities designed to help you grow both academically and personally. Our Sixth Form Common Room provides a space to relax, socialise with friends and enjoy a sense of independence throughout the school day.

At Laurel Park Sixth Form, you will be encouraged to work hard, aim high, make lasting friendships and make the most of every opportunity. It is a place where you can be yourself, develop your independence and feel proud of what you achieve.

​

We hope you choose to join us and become part of our Sixth Form community. We look forward to welcoming you!
