St Edward’s Sixth Form offers a co-educational experience within a well-established learning community that values the holistic development of young people. Achievement within the top 10% of schools nationally comes as a result of focusing on many aspects of learning alongside the work of teachers who are committed to their continuous professional development.  Sixth Form teachers value student voice and use it, alongside current research to inform the most effective teaching methods and to adjust the content and delivery of their subjects. Sixth Form lessons are, therefore, dynamic and challenging and include a particular emphasis on developing Oracy and Literacy skills that deepen and secure knowledge.  Our students are exposed to a well- considered and ambitious curriculum that encompasses a range of A Level subjects and alternative Level 3 qualifications that lead to a variety of university courses, training and employment opportunities. We encourage students to pursue an extended study programme that offers the choice of: Independent on-line courses (Moocs), an additional 1 Year programme of study in a 4^th subject or Core Maths.

We value the contribution that all disciplines make to young peoples’ education, recognising more than ever, that exposure to the Humanities, Arts and Sciences are paramount in building the knowledge, skills and personal attributes that will allow them to be happy, fulfilled and make purposeful contributions to society. Additionally, we educate students beyond the normal curriculum by encouraging all of them to think critically about significant ethical and moral issues through participation in our Personal Enquiry programme of study.
