STUDYING IN THE SIXTH FORM

THE SIXTH FORM HAS A UNIQUE FEEL.

Taught by subject specialists, class sizes are small, and teachers get to know you well. Given greater independence, you will be expected to be proactive and take responsibility for your own learning. Teaching staff are there to support and guide you but individual academic and all-round success will also depend on your approach to School life and how much you invest in your two Sixth Form years.

The academic rigour of study in Sixth Form is considerable, and the transition from I/GCSE to A Level is demanding, but if you work hard, and in partnership with your teachers, you will find your academic education at Hampton will serve you well whatever path you choose to follow.

Alongside these increasing academic challenges, all Sixth Form boys are expected to embrace opportunities for leadership in the School, both within the Prefect and Mentor systems, as well as through the extensive co-curricular and service opportunities. Learning to balance the demands of these equally important aspects of Sixth Form life is challenging but will help prepare you for life at university and beyond.
