THOUGHTFUL INDEPENDENT

We want everyone at KGS to ’be happy’ and thrive as part of a tolerant, inclusive and contented community of confident young adults. So, we make pastoral care a priority for our Sixth Form and are committed to supporting your academic, social and emotional development at every turn.

Our Sixth Form tutor groups have up to fifteen students. Tutors meet with their tutees every morning. This daily contact provides the solid foundation upon which the success of Sixth Form education rests. Tutors remain with their tutor group throughout the two years of Sixth Form.

The house system is very strong at KGS. All students are divided between the five houses –Lovekyn, Queen’s, Taverner, Walworth and Stanley – and compete in a variety of activities, including sport, debating, dance and drama. Sixth Form students often organise and lead these events.

Everyone in KGS’s Sixth Form, regardless of their academic abilities, gets the right assistance to learn effectively. Our dedicated Learning Support Department and Sixth Form tutors will run sessions on topics such as time management, note making, reading and exam techniques, essay writing and revision strategies.

All our teachers are also committed to meeting the needs of students with a diagnosed special educational need or disability, and use a range of strategies to help them learn. The main aim is to make you as confident as possible in your academic skills and stand you in good stead for undergraduate study.
