The College commenced 6th Form examination courses in September 2000, offering a range of academic and vocational A level courses. This is another exciting development in our short history and the range of available courses has increased with each successive year. Potential 6th Form pupils can now chose to study from a menu of 17 subjects. A flourishing 6th Form has allowed the College to introduce a Prefect system that has already made a positive contribution to the College. The most significant contribution is their role as mentors to the junior school, in particular to the Year 8 intake. These senior pupils provide additional support in a variety of ways to the youngest pupils throughout their first year in the College. Our prefects also serve as worthy role models for all our pupils. As a small school with pupils of all ability levels we have carefully selected arange of courses which will cater for the greatest number of potential sixth form students. Our sixth form provision offers both applied and academic subjects which allow students the flexibility to mix and match options which best suit their career aspirations. The range of possibilities is wide and varied in keeping also with the spirit of government reforms. It is our intention to expand the variety of courses offered in the near future. For September 2007 the College warmly welcomes applications from students from other schools who wish to join us in Sixth Form. Further information may be obtained from Mr D O'Hanlon (acting Vice Principal). All students in Sixth form will study the Core Curriculum subjects and in addition select course combinations from the Options.
