The Sixth Form provides continued academic challenge, continued pastoral care and a rich extra-curricular offer. As in years 7 to 11, we seek to help sixth form students develop lively enquiring minds, apply themselves to tasks and acquire practical skills and knowledge that are valued both for their own sake and for the broader good of society. We like to see Latymer students continue into the Sixth Form, indeed almost all year 11 students do continue into year 12, but progression isn’t automatic.
Students should:
- have the necessary GCSE background
- have a real interest in their studies
- be involved in, and enjoy, the support of the school community
- have a record of meeting the specialist subjects’ requirements and coursework deadlines
- be evidently self-disciplined (e.g. in attendance, punctuality, and uniform).
There are also the two academic requirements: students must achieve at least A grades in the subjects they wish to study at AS-level; and students must achieve at least 6 grade As overall in the GCSE examinations.
