Sixth Form
Welcome I am delighted to introduce you to Whitefield School Sixth Form. There are many good reasons to join our Sixth Form. The school now achieves some of the best examination results in Barnet. Our staying on rate is high. We provide a full range of AS and A Level courses as well as a wide range of vocational courses. We are members of the SHaW Sixth Form Consortium, a partnership with local schools, and this extends the options we can offer our students at Key Stage 5. We prepare students thoroughly for entry into university as well as supporting students onto vocational courses or into employment. As a small Sixth Form we can offer small class sizes, a personalised approach to learning and very good pastoral care with careers guidance for every student. There are a range of opportunities outside the classroom too. These include an exciting programme of enrichment, opportunities for volunteering (locally, nationally and internationally) as well as community service, raising money for charities, organising events for younger students, contributing to school drama, dance, music and sport events and assisting younger students in sports coaching, dance and drama tuition and reading. All this is supported by the school’s personal, social and health education programme.
The details found within this prospectus will provide you with information about the courses we offer, as well as more information on the Sixth Form at Whitefield School. I hope you enjoy reading this and that it will help you decide to become a member of our lively and successful Sixth Form. Martin Lavelle – Headteacher
