Gateways offers at least the same number of A Level subjects as any other local independent school and we will usually run a subject even if only a few pupils choose it - now that's a bespoke education! With small classes, there is simply no better preparation for the small group tutorial work expected at University than getting two years experience of it before you go! HOW TO APPLY OVERVIEW WELCOME TO SIXTH FORM Gateways Sixth Form affords students a wonderful opportunity to develop their academic, as well as personal development over what is two of the most demanding years of their lives. Students are encouraged to work hard academically but also to ensure they immerse themselves fully in the life of the school – and beyond. They will develop their leadership qualities in many ways throughout their time and undertake a variety of duties at break and lunchtimes and lead the House, organising music, sporting, drama, charity and general whole school events. Our Enrichment programme contains everything from Study Skills sessions and English Speaking Board Examinations to more practical elements such as personal finance and cooking for oneself; university and careers modules are embedded within this. Due to our small class sizes, the teaching staff really get to know our students. This means the individual attention each student receives helps them to achieve their very best in academic terms too. We have a fantastic track record of high A Level grades; in 2021, 79% of all A Levels were graded at A*/A! We are a vibrant and happy Sixth Form, please take a look through the pages in this section to find out a bit more about us and contact us if you would like to arrange a visit.
