Academic Ambition

Our Philosophy

The KS5 curriculum is tailored to meet the needs and aspirations of post-16 students at our Sixth Form; and is designed to offer a diverse range of academic and vocational pathways. At this stage, students typically can specialise in subjects of their choice, delving deeper into their areas of interest. Advanced level courses, such as A-Levels or Vocational qualifications, form the backbone of the KS5 curriculum, providing students with a rigorous and in-depth understanding of their chosen subjects.

Teaching and Learning

Teaching and learning are characterised by a dynamic and intellectually stimulating atmosphere that fosters academic excellence and personal growth. Teachers are highly skilled, adapting their teaching strategies to challenge and inspire students with advanced academic capabilities. The KS5 curriculum is designed to delve deeply into subjects, encouraging critical thinking, independent research, and a passion for learning. Class sizes allow for personalised attention, fostering meaningful interactions between teachers and students. The emphasis is not only on mastering content but also on developing essential skills such as problem-solving, effective communication, and collaborative teamwork. Regular assessments and feedback mechanisms ensure that students are continually challenged and supported in their academic pursuits. The learning environment is characterised by a sense of community, where students are encouraged to share ideas, engage in discussions, and pursue their intellectual passions. 

Several key principles contribute to the success of our students: 

• Specialised instruction

• Research-oriented approach 

• Class sizes 

• Supportive learning environment

• Continuous assessment and feedback 

• Technology integration
