Sixth Form

Studying within our Sixth Form

Within our Sixth Form, boys follow three A Levels and an EPQ qualification.

Our Sixth Form’s supportive learning environment means our sixth formers are guided by highly skilled teachers in small classes, whilst our pastoral support (with each boy having a tutor to provide support and guidance) and co-curricular activities help develop confidence, self-discipline, independence, and curiosity.

Our facilities include Sixth Form study rooms and a common room, while our location in Marylebone ensures our sixth formers go beyond their A Levels by attending workshops or lectures with business leaders, participating in conferences or research programmes at top universities or visiting the many museums, galleries, theatres, exhibitions and more to be found across London.
