Sixth Form Ages 16-18

Endlessly Inspiring The co-educational Sixth Form at Ibstock offers a happy and stimulating environment for learning. With award-winning facilities, dedicated study spaces and a Sixth Form café, Ibstock creates a supportive environment in which pupils can develop their independence. Free from distraction, the beautiful surroundings of our campus environment provide the ideal setting for academic achievement.

United by kindness Our close-knit Sixth Form community has a family feel, with trusting relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils contribute to a range of community and charitable activities throughout their time at Ibstock. Those taking three A-Levels also participate in a specialist local community outreach programme, developing skills in resilience, communication, and teamwork, while providing valuable service to the community. An education for a promising future Careers guidance is continuous throughout each pupil’s Sixth Form career, with a lively careers fair and external speaker series. We support those seeking work experience through our expansive network of alumni and parents. A growing number of pupils are supported in their desire to study internationally through a dedicated tutor, specialising in tests such as the SAT and ACT. An experienced Early Applications and Support Team (EAST) guides and mentors those with their sights set on Oxbridge.

Right from the beginning I was made to feel at home. THEO, NEW TO SIXTH FORM

In addition to their A-Levels, all pupils take the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). This standalone qualification is designed to extend and develop pupils’ abilities beyond the A-Level syllabus and prepare for university. It is viewed as highly desirable by universities and is the equivalent to half an A-Level in UCAS points. Higher education In 2023, 95% of entries achieved A-Level grades A*- C and our leavers proceeded to study at some of the world’s finest universities. Our extensive higher education and careers provision ensured that over 90% of pupils went to their preferred choice of university, with over two thirds attending Russell Group institutions.

Champions of co-education

We are pioneers in the field of co education. Our pupils are prepared for life in a society not segregated by gender, where individuality and differences are seen as valuable strengths. We work to develop a dynamic mindset and an agility of thought in our pupils, so they can stay flexible in an ever changing world. A place for the courageous Ibstock’s provision of enriching activities makes our Sixth Form provision first-class. With inter school debating competitions, cookery courses, and a wide range of visits, the opportunities outside of the classroom are varied and adventurous.
