Warlingham Sixth Form Warlingham Sixth Form is essentially an academic sixth form, with dynamic, happy and successful students. The 330 students follow a combination of two year A Level and/ or Vocational Level 3 courses. There are many subjects to choose from including those not commonly studied in early school years such as Economics, Government & Politics, Law, Media Studies and Psychology. Much emphasis is placed on achieving academic excellence. Members of staff are wellqualified and very experienced in supporting students to achieve success. A self-disciplined approach to private study is established in the early stages of Warlingham Sixth Form education and the support of parents is fully recognised and valued by our staff. Regular assessments, progress reports and subject teacher consultations keep students and parents informed.
“I’ve always been interested in Science and understanding how the world works and I’m driven to apply my knowledge and skills to contribute to designs and projects; I would like to study Engineering at university and chose my A Levels accordingly. Warlingham Sixth Form has provided many extra-curricular opportunities, such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. These opportunities are useful in demonstrating that I am a wellrounded candidate when I apply to universities.” Daniel Hill Former School: Warlingham School Courses: A Level Chemistry A Level Design Technology A Level Mathematics A Level Physics Duke of Edinburgh

“Warlingham Sixth Form had the best pass rates of all the schools I looked at and the Warlingham Graduation scheme distinguished the sixth form from the rest as it helps you stand out when applying for universities and jobs. After the Open Evening, I decided that the atmosphere and ethos were right for me. I want to study Forensic Science at university and then pursue a career in the area.”

I’ve been able to benefit from various speakers who have come in to Warlingham Sixth Form to talk to us about careers and how to achieve our goals.”
