Choosing your Sixth Form is about far more than selecting your next set of subjects. It’s about finding a place where you feel valued, supported and inspired to make the most of your potential. 

Our Sixth Form is a popular destination across the local area, bringing together students joining us from other schools with those continuing from our secondary phase. This creates a diverse and inclusive community, enriched by different experiences, perspectives, friendships and ambitions.

Students are encouraged to aim high, develop their talents and prepare confidently for the future. Dedicated teaching and pastoral staff provide personalised support, while a wealth of enrichment opportunities—from performing arts and sport to charity fundraising and leadership—helps students thrive both academically and personally.

With a welcoming community, ambitious students and committed staff, St Peter’s provides an environment where you can make the most of these important years and take your next steps with confidence.

Need to Change Your Mind?

Don’t worry. Course choices can often be adjusted during the application process, and our Sixth Form team will be happy to help you find the right combination of subjects.

When deciding on your subjects you should ask yourself

• What will I love studying? 
• Are there any specific subjects required for my proposed post-18 pathway?
• Am I likely to meet the entry requirements for the individual subjects? 
• Do I fully understand what the subject involves? 
• Does my combination of subjects offer me breadth? 
• Does the combination work on the timetabling blocks?

All courses are offered subject to sufficient demand and staffing availability.
