FROM THE HEAD

Dear Prospective Student,

Thank you for showing an interest in Comberton Sixth Form.

Comberton is a high performing, firmly established sixth form with a strong track record of both academic excellence and student progress.

With just over 500 students from in excess of 25 schools, both national and international, the sixth form has a vibrant atmosphere with a wealth of opportunities, while at the same time being small enough to ensure our students are all known and treated as individuals. We can help you achieve the highest possible academic outcomes through a combination of outstanding teaching and the close support needed to thrive in a more independent environment.

Our students follow individualised study programmes that aim to ensure academic stretch and challenge alongside the development of the key skills vital for your success and next steps in education, employment or further training. In 2022, 95% were placed at their chosen university, with a third of university applicants going to Russell Group universities, including Oxbridge. In addition, a number of students have also been offered places on highly sought-after school leaver programmes and apprenticeship schemes.

Students aspiring to the top universities, inducing Oxford and Cambridge may decide to take a fourth A-Level, or complete the Cambridge International Project Qualification (IPQ) to enhance their critical thinking and research skills and support university entrance assessments. There is also the option for all students to complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) or Level 3 Core Maths. If you chose to join us we will discuss the different options with you during an informal guidance meeting to ensure you have the right combination of qualification to help you succeed both while at the sixth form and beyond.

Our students also enjoy an extensive range of additional opportunities that help them develop other skills that will benefit them in the future. These include numerous enrichment and social opportunities alongside subject trips, both international and UK based. We believe we provide outstanding post-16 education in an environment where high standards of teaching, learning and academic progress are assured, while at the same time enabling students to learn the skills needed to be independent. Please do come and test this judgement for yourself during our open evening on Wednesday 21st June. We look forward to meeting you then.
