Your sixth form life

A work-life balance is an important part of getting the most from your sixth form experience.

We provide a wealth of social and leisure activities, as well as help and support with your studies. Making the most of your time here in Cowes will be what makes your experience a lot more than just gaining excellent qualifications. We want to help you make memories and friendships for life as well as prepare you for your chosen university course, apprenticeship or career. We offer a myriad of activities and opportunities including participation in mock trials and debating and a wide range of sports, stage and media productions and social events to name but a few. We enable our sixth formers to develop confidence, selfmotivation and leadership skills through our rich curriculum opportunities and enrichment activities. Each year a range of leadership opportunities is available to you, such as becoming part of the Sixth Form Student Leadership Team, running or supporting clubs and activities for younger students or taking part in our sporting events. Cowes is perfectly positioned to give you every opportunity to enjoy that all-important downtime, from a bustling common room and high street to the calm oasis of the open green spaces of our campus. Cowes Sixth Form benefits from its coastal location, numerous outdoor pursuits and close links with Southampton, opening a world of excellent shopping, arts venues and exciting entertainment.

Sixth Form Welcome

“Living on an island can seem closed off at times but being at Cowes Sixth Form has opened my eyes to broader horizons and opportunities ahead.”
