Becoming Exceptional
Discover how academic challenge, specialist guidance and excellent enrichment opportunities help students celebrate their full potential in King’s Sixth Form, where 86% of students gained a place at their first choice university in 2023.
Along with their studies, which are of the highest standards, our Sixth Formers develop their skills for life, their spirit of independence and their sense of community. Our spacious, self contained and superbly appointed Sixth Form Centre provides a lively yet focused environment for learning. Along with the academic areas for work, a lecture theatre, library and IT facilities, there are social spaces and quiet places for relaxation and a common room with a café to catch up with friends.
To help bridge the gap between being a pupil and becoming a university student, every Sixth Former is encouraged to take on responsibilities inside and outside the School, from becoming prefects to using their time and talents to support local initiatives through our Enrichment Programme.
From the first days of Lower Sixth, we encourage them to think about what they want to achieve in higher education and beyond, so we can help them plan the best way to fulfil their aims. We support them every step of the way, encouraging, challenging and helping them to develop the personal strengths and learning skills which will set them up on their journey through life.
