Sixth Form
Academic learning is at the heart of everything we do, and our Sixth Form is about opening as many doors as possible for pupils and making their next step one that makes the most of their potential. We encourage our Sixth Form pupils to look beyond the classroom and prepare them for the wider world with a lot more than a series of impressive results. We welcome pupils to visit our Sixth Form through open, socials events and taster days.
- Universities and employers acknowledge that academic achievement is very important, however at the same time they are looking for life skills, employability, resilience, initiative, and independence – and that’s exactly what our Sixth Form experience delivers.
Our pupils take ownership of their learning by furthering their profile academically and indulging their interests outside the classroom. By taking on leading roles, such as Senior Prefect, Team Captain or leading an extra-curricular activity, they demonstrate responsibility and maturity. Similarly, more pupils than ever before are taking Duke of Edinburgh Silver or Gold awards, which demonstrates fantastic life-skills and commitment.
Our pupils are supported by by pastoral and academic staff who encourage the Sixth Form to challenge themselves, pursue their passions and develop the resilience to cope with current and future demands. Through a holistic education, pupils leave the Sixth Form with the skills and mindset to enter the ‘real world’ with confidence and drive to be the very best that they can be.
This encapsulates the ethos of the Sixth Form at Wisbech Grammar School; the young adults in our Sixth Form community are truly well-rounded and inspiring
Dwight Centre – a dedicated Sixth Form space
Sixth Form pupils have a new Sixth Form Centre which allows pupils to have a dedicated space for specialist Sixth Form subjects, collaborative and silent working spaces, a lecture facility, plus a café and common room space all with the aim of supporting academic success at A-level.
The Dwight Centre is also the base of the Sixth Form pastoral team, so pupils have easy access to the Head and Deputy Head of Section.
