Life in the Sixth Form PRIVATE STUDY Private study is an important and integral part of Sixth Form work and it is one of the major differences students notice on entering the Sixth Form. The properly organised use of time is a crucial part of succeeding in the Sixth Form. Our Sixth Form offers excellent facilities for private study. Students have access to the library and two ‘Sixth Form only’ study areas. All these areas are wirelessly connected and students have access to over 70 computers that are only for Sixth Formers. The ability to work independently and with others is something universities and employers look for in students. We offer guidance and support throughout the Sixth Form in helping all our students become truly independent learners.
HOMEWORK Homework is an essential part of all Sixth Form courses. Students should spend a minimum of fifteen hours per week outside school on homework. The successful Sixth Former is prepared to investigate new areas independently and read widely.
OXBRIDGE PROGRAMME At Huntington Sixth Form we are ambitious for all our students. For those who want to apply to Oxford and Cambridge we have in place a highly successful programme. It involves individual coaching by staff, bespoke personal statement guidance and interviews with specialists from across the region. Our track record is highly successful with eight students having gone on to study at Oxford or Cambridge in the last two years.
