Joining our Sixth Form marks a departure from all previous school experience. It is an exciting new beginning, marking the start of two years that will shape what you choose to do beyond RGS. It is also the start of studying subjects you have chosen and excel at. You are given greater autonomy, are expected to take responsibility, to demonstrate leadership qualities and to become increasingly independent in all that you undertake. The School enjoys a long-established reputation as a centre of academic excellence, and RGS Sixth Formers are here because they want to be. Consequently, students are ambitious, hard-working and respectful of scholarship. The environment is designed to be challenging and purposeful, but supportive and inspiring in equal measure. Galvanised by a collaborative relationship with staff, parents and peers, you will be emboldened to explore and to push boundaries. The step up fromGCSE to A Level is a seamless process, facilitated by dedicated subject teachers. There is scope for rigorous independent research and learning, guided by specialist academic staff who prepare students thoroughly for Oxbridge , university entrance, apprenticeship and job applications. They help you to make important and sometimes daunting choices, whilst helping to formulate personal statements and navigate application procedures. Throughout your two years in the Sixth Form you will be supported by an experienced Head of Year and a team of caring Form Tutors who will ensure that you make the most of your time here. Your academic timetable will have some non-contact study periods so that you can organise your work and develop the crucial skill of self-discipline.
