Life at Wakefield Girls'

Based in Sotterley and Ross, a refurbished Georgian House with attached modern and recently refurbished facilities within our school campus, sixth formers have their own dedicated study and social spaces comprising common rooms, kitchens, individual study pods and modern, flexible, cafe style working spaces.

Sixth Form life is different for each girl as she studies personal combinations of subjects, belongs to different clubs, plays different sports and pursues her individual passions - but our students are always united and supported in our bright, like-minded nurturing community.

Unlike some other sixth forms and colleges, we are aware that not all A Level students are naturally ready to manage their academic career on their own and this is why we provide a strong tailored support system.

Reassuringly Prepared

Under continual and careful guidance from the Director of Sixth Form and her team, student academic progress is monitored and managed effectively. A current view of progress is always available to students, parents, teachers and school leaders. Whilst we use a monitoring system, our teachers act as mentors giving counsel and perspective to best help each student individually. Learning support is always available.

Students learn to become mature in their dealings with others, enjoying a warm relationship of trust with staff under our well defined code of conduct which, while well enforced, is not restrictive. When you visit us, you will be struck by the result: mature, self-confident and well rounded sixth formers happily progressing in life at their own pace.
