Welcome to our Sixth Form pages which we hope will give you a taste of what is on offer both inside and outside the classroom in Years 12 an 13.
The Sixth Form experience is the summit of Gordon’s School. Through their studies, activities and successes in many fields students are enabled to develop into confident, articulate young men and women ready to make a significant contribution to the world. High academic standards are a given but our focus is on enabling individuals to meet their personal as well as academic potential. The pastoral and social aspects of Sixth Form life are an excellent preparation for life in higher education and employment, with an emphasis on developing leadership and teamwork skills, as well as self-motivation and time-management in a busy boarding environment.
You will find on separate pages on this website a short guide to the Sixth Form curriculum with a description of AS and A2 Level options, together with an outline of how we help with study skills, independent learning, careers guidance and university applications. You will find we also have a wealth of extra-curricular activities and leadership opportunities including an extensive range of Sixth Form Sport, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme Expeditions, Music and Drama productions and university taster lectures.
At this crucial stage in school life, it is good to know that there is plenty of experienced help at hand and as well as excellent subject specialists Gordon’s School provides a dedicated team of Sixth Form tutors, led by myself and my Mrs E King, Head of Year 13 and Mr. G Knight, Head of Year 12. With a strong House system underpinning every aspect of school life Heads of House are also actively involved in supporting our students to enjoy and succeed in Sixth Form life.
