Our dedicated Careers and Higher Education programme is a cornerstone of Sixth Form life, helping every student take confident, well-informed steps into their future whether that is university, an apprenticeship, or the world of work.
Tailored Advice, Every Step of the Way
From Fourth Form (Year 10) onwards, students begin a carefully structured careers journey. Every Upper School and Sixth Form student receives personalised guidance through one-to-one appointments, talks, careers profiling and planning sessions. All students in the Upper Sixth develop a Personal Development Plan with their form tutor, ensuring their goals stay front and centre.
Specialist support is also available for students exploring degree apprenticeships, US and international universities, and competitive pathways like Medicine, Veterinary Science, Dentistry, Oxford and Cambridge.
Where do our graduates go?
Each year, the vast majority of our students go on to top-tier universities in the UK and internationally. Over 95% secure places at their first-choice university, with courses ranging from Engineering to Psychology to Medicine to Animation.
