I am delighted that you are considering joining Shaftesbury Sixth Form. We are extremely proud of our students’ achievements, both academically and on a personal level.
Shaftesbury School students have an outstanding education in the Sixth Form; they experience academic rigour and have great opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, problem solving and communication skills through the varied enrichment and sports programme. This extends into the community through many volunteering schemes.
We have high aspirations for our young people and are proud of their achievements. Each year, we can demonstrate a consistent improvement in student outcomes which has enabled many of our students to secure places at universities, apprenticeships or places of work. Increasing numbers of students are applying to and being successful at prestigious and Russell Group Universities as well as for Oxford, Cambridge and for medicine and veterinary sciences.
We provide excellent support to students applying to University and students have access to a careers advice in school, enabling them to make informed choices for their futures.
Over the last few academic years, our Sixth Form has grown further with students joining us in Year 12 from surrounding schools. Our Year 12 induction programme ensures that this transition is as smooth as possible and new students are welcomed and settle into the Shaftesbury family quickly.
I hope that you choose to continue your education at Shaftesbury School or indeed join us from another school. The Sixth Form Team and I looks forward to welcoming you to our school.
