Guidance and support
Choosing a Sixth Form is an important step, but equally important is deciding what to do at the end of your Sixth Form studies. We provide a programme of support for our students, whether they wish to apply to university or consider other options post-18.
Support in Subjects Subject teachers are the main point of contact for students and provide support with one-to-one conversations and marking work in a timely and detailed way. Our small class sizes of no more than 15 students, supports this. through the UCAS process. Throughout the year students attend events and we invite speakers into school to cover a range of subjects, from apprenticeships to writing a personal statement. The school also employs a Careers Advisor Next Steps Support Our Sixth Form tutors guide students and Sixth Form students can book an appointment with them at any time throughout the year, or an appointment can be made on their behalf.
Oxbridge Programme In order to support students with an aspiration for studying at Oxford or Cambridge, we run a bespoke Oxbridge Programme. In the first term of Year 12, students with the appropriate grades (primarily grades 8/9 or A* at GCSE) are invited to attend a residential visit to Lady Margarets Hall Oxford. Later in the year, they attend a series of enrichment talks at Kingswood School, aimed at broadening and deepening their subject knowledge. Finally, they receive one-to-one, subject- specific guidance on applications and interviews. Whilst the vast majority of our students choose to go on to university, we tailor our programme to meet the individual needs of each and every student, regardless of their plans for the future.
