'All students contribute to work in the community, supporting younger pupils, and international charities. Sixth-form students say they really enjoy these opportunities to become one of the school’s ‘responsible citizens’. Ofsted 2017

At Sacred Heart Sixth Form, we combine passion for the education of girls and young women with a commitment to world-class excellence, to equip our students for the challenges of 21st century life.  You will find here, outstanding teaching, learning and pastoral care.  Our staff are prepared to give generously of their time and expertise to support you in achieving the very best that you are capable of, leading to outstanding results for all.

The Supplementary Information booklet outlines some of the opportunities you can benefit from beyond the day-to-day work of the classroom. Your time in the Sixth Form will fly, but if you make wise choices, you will have the opportunity to build a strong foundation for all that you want to do and achieve in the future.

All students follow a programme of elective study modules to support their main A-Level studies. In addition, we offer a wide range of weekly internal and external enrichment opportunities. Summer schools, conferences, courses and local school holiday opportunities are also offered to students

Enrichment activities include:

• Community Volunteering
• Extended Project (EPQ)
• Duke of Edinburgh
• Graded Music and Lamda exams

A wide range of trips are organised throughout the school year, along with external speakers, collapsed PSHE days, Core RE days, and Higher Education visits. This enrichment model allows high-quality enrichment to develop and promote students’ depth and breadth in learning. Individual subjects will also offer a range of enrichment activities .  All students will be expected to participate in the Sixth Form Community Service Programme. 

Our Sixth Form provides an opportunity for you to build lifelong friendships within an inclusive and welcoming community; to explore your academic passions and delve into the myriad of opportunities that exist beyond the classroom.  

Your voice matters in the Sixth Form. Those students who wish to represent their peers and formalise their leadership are invited to apply to join our Head Girl leadership team, become a House Captain to lead events throughout the school or train as a Peacemaker to support younger students in conflict resolution.

There are plenty of opportunities for Sixth Form students to get involved. Whether it’s in clubs, team sports or charities, our students get stuck into every experience available to them. By the time they start applying for university, they have plenty to say about their lives beyond A Levels.

Within Sacred Heart, you will act as a role model for others, reaffirming our Christian values through living out our Mission Statement, acting in service and love to others, treating everyone equally and with respect.
