We pride ourselves on our academic success within the Sixth Form. Our girls aim high and achieve excellent results. The wide range of 28 subject choices, taught by dedicated subject specialists, ensures that we support your interests and your potential career path. You will experience a greater freedom and enjoy studying subjects that genuinely interest you, in smaller classes, while forming more mature relationships with your teachers who will support you every step of the way.

However, we aren’t just focused on academic success. We also want you to learn how to think, to be inquisitive so that we set you up for a lifetime of thinking critically to help your future career path. Seminar style lessons and independent learning not only help prepare you for university, but also create motivated learners.
The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is a Level 3 stand alone academic qualification, equating to half an A Level. It is highly regarded by both universities and employers. Many Russell Group universities take the EPQ into account as part of their holistic assessment of a student’s UCAS application. The EPQ is an independent research project and enables students to develop skills in the areas of problem-solving, critical thinking, analysis, synthesis evaluation and public speaking.
Developing interests outside of the A Level curriculum is vital in helping to shape curious young people. Our enrichment programme offers a variety of courses that allow you to learn new skills or try an activity that challenges you physically or mentally. There is a wealth of courses available to you including political awareness, photography, first aid, rock climbing and sign language to name a few.
We operate an Advanced Electives Series in partnership with Dulwich College and JAGS. Electives run at Dulwich College and Sydenham High School and there are a plethora of options to choose from such as Anatomical Studies, Debunking medical myths: from stem cells to superheroes and Architectural History.
