The two years of the Sixth Form represent the most exciting chapter in your education so far, a time of discovery and the opportunity to spread your wings.  SHS Sixth Formers have their own dedicated Sixth Form House, a contemporary and inspiring environment which allows them to study independently and socialise with fellow Sixth Formers.  Open Days and visits are the best way to find out more.  Email our admissions team to arrange your visit or register for our Open Days.

Becoming a Sixth Former Days

 

Becoming a Sixth Former Days

Our two Becoming a Sixth Former Days in the autumn term are excellent ways for students to spend time with our Sixth Form team and get a feel for the academic and pastoral life of the Sixth Form.  What does it mean to be a Sixth Former at SHS?  What are A level subjects like, how does the House System work, what leadership opportunities are open to me? Ahead of the application deadline and scholarship assessments, there is no better way to decide if SHS feels like the right place for you.

Applications are welcome throughout the year, however to secure your child’s place, early application is encouraged.

 

 

Apply

To apply for a place in our Sixth Form, please complete an online application on our Admissions platform.  Registering is straightforward and you will be asked to pay a £120 non-refundable deposit.

  • Girls joining us into Year 12 are eligible to sit two scholarship assessments, in either an Academic subject or a specialist Sports, Art, Music and Drama scholarship.  Scholarship awards are prestigious and very few are awarded.  They are merit based and awarded to the top performing student in that area and usually come with a fee remission of around 10%.  Applications for Art, Music, Drama and Sports scholarships can be made once an initial application for a place has been submitted on the Admissions platform.  Full details of scholarship criteria can be found on our scholarship page.

We take great care in providing you and your son or daughter with a carefully designed transition programme to ensure that they are well prepared to make the move to the Sixth Form. We will invite them to join us for induction events and our Director of Sixth Form will be in close contact with you all to ensure a smooth transition in September.
