Westholme Sixth Form

WELCOME TO WESTHOLME’S CO-EDUCATIONAL SIXTH FORM

EDUCATION FOR BOYS AND GIRLS AGED 16-18 YEARS

The steps taken during the Sixth Form years are some of the most exciting and inspiring in education. Here at Westholme we seek to provide our students with an unforgettable experience, one in which they are provided with stimulating and focused teaching to enable them to flourish both academically and personally. Through high expectations, personalised support and extensive enrichment opportunities, Westholme students are encouraged to make mature, informed choices in their learning and are motivated to realise their aspirations.

Our Sixth Form, offers a diverse curriculum providing a successful route to university or employment. Small class sizes allow for personalised teaching and careful monitoring of academic progress, providing every student with the respect and support they need as an individual. Additionally, students embark upon a varied enrichment programme and can opt to partake in the wide assortment of excellent co-curricular activities we offer here at Westholme. Whatever their strength, passion or wish, we provide opportunities that allow students to fulfil their potential through an enjoyable, fun and high quality experience.

The start of Sixth Form marks a new stage in their education; one of independence, choice and personal development.

Our Sixth Form Centre provides a modern, university ‘feel’ environment where students can enjoy their own private space and facilities. The independence exercised in higher education or in the work place can be a daunting prospect for some students. Therefore, we provide a social atmosphere that supports this setting within a school context, enabling students to develop their academic maturity and feel prepared for their future career paths. Additional support is also provided through the Sixth Form tutor team, our experienced careers advisor and a number of initiatives within the academic calendar which guide the successful process of UCAS and workplace applications.

We are totally committed to providing a stimulating academic environment that is concentrated on the needs of every single student at Westholme. Our Sixth Form is much more than a place to gain qualifications; it is a bridge to future success, built upon solid academic foundations and the personal care and development of every individual that enters our doors.
