Sixth Form

Sixth Form · two years

Sixth Form lasts two years. Classes have fifteen pupils at most. Families choose the route that matches the pupil’s strengths and the universities or colleges they have in mind. Subject choices and counselling sit inside the same school, whichever route they take.

A Level

Academic route · two years

Usually three subjects, taught across two years, with seminars, problem classes, and written feedback that expects a point of view.

  • Subject choices made with university requirements in mind
  • Weekly live teaching and independent reading
  • Mock examinations and a revision term that is actually planned

International A Level

International academic route · two years

The same depth as A Level, taught for international papers, over the same two years.

  • Subject combinations planned against destination requirements
  • Live teaching with timed practice at the right standard
  • Guidance on entries and the weeks around the papers

BTEC

Applied route · two years

A coursework-led pathway over two years for pupils who want applied study, portfolios, and counselling toward university or work.

  • Assignment briefs with checkpoints, not a single deadline at the end
  • Research, presentation, and professional writing built into the work
  • University and career guidance alongside the assignments

Ontario Secondary School Diploma

Canadian diploma route · two years

The Ontario Secondary School Diploma over two years for pupils aiming at Canadian universities or a North American-style credit pathway.

  • Credit planning agreed before the year begins
  • Live teaching matched to the diploma requirements
  • Guidance on university applications in Canada and beyond

American High School Diploma

US diploma route · two years

The American High School Diploma over two years, with counselling toward college applications.

  • A clear plan for the credits and courses still needed
  • Live classes with teachers who know the diploma standard
  • Support for transcripts and college applications

  • Business and Economics
  • Computer Science

How the week works

  • Two years, planned before any route or subject is locked
  • Personal and career counselling sits inside the timetable, not beside it
  • References and applications are drafted with the teachers who know the work
