Clayesmore Sixth Form Prospectus 2026-28

Whether their next step is university, an apprenticeship or direct entry into employment, students receive the guidance and opportunities they need to make informed choices and to develop the skills demanded beyond school. We offer a wide range of A Level and BTEC courses, valued by universities and employers alike. Many students choose a blend of the two, creating a programme of study that combines depth with breadth. Small class sizes and our distinctive ethos ensure each student is known and noticed. Sixth Form life also feels different from the rest of the senior school: students are treated as young adults, given greater independence and encouraged to collaborate actively in their learning. Each student benefits from the support of a dedicated tutor who works alongside subject teachers, house staff and the pastoral team. Weekly tutor sessions build study and organisational skills, while careers lessons delivered by our specialist team prepare students for the transition to life after school. Beyond the classroom, our LEX programme broadens horizons. Students are encouraged to try new activities, develop leadership and teamwork, and refine their skills in analysis, debate, and research. They can take part in Young Enterprise, Model United Nations, politics and debating societies, book clubs and other enriching extracurriculars. Careers-focused talks, employability workshops, and mock interviews further develop the competencies they will need after school. Clayesmore Sixth Form is also a lively community. Academic lectures, social events and formal occasions for both day and boarding students enrich school life. Highlights include formal dinners and balls, themed evenings, and our annual Year 12 two- night residential camp which strengthens year group bonds and develops practical life skills. Students can contribute actively to school life through our thriving Sixth Form Committee, taking on roles that range from tutoring younger pupils to organising social and wellbeing events and managing communications amongst the students. These experiences foster leadership and provide valuable preparation for life beyond school. Sixth Form at Clayesmore is a time of challenge, opportunity and growth. Our commitment is to ensure that every student leaves confident, capable and ready to make a positive contribution to the world beyond school. Harriet Perrett Head of Sixth Form Clayesmore Sixth Form provides a purposeful and supportive environment for students to grow as independent thinkers and responsible young adults. The two years between GCSEs and life beyond school are formative; our aim is to equip every student with the confidence, resilience and intellectual curiosity needed to thrive in a fast-changing world.z FROMTHE HEADOF SIXTH FORM 2 CLAYESMORE | S I XTH FORM | PROS PECTUS 202 6 / 2 8
