Sixth Form Life

SIXTH FORM LIFE

Supporting advocacy of learning with a focus on gaining independence.

Our Walters Sixth Form Centre is a modern, purpose-built environment that offers up to 140 students the space to develop their academic studies, individual skills and talents in preparation for life beyond Clifton High School.
Mr Tom Appleby - Head of Sixth Form

The two-year period of growth and transition in Sixth Form are fundamental in shaping any student’s future. At Clifton High School, the unfaltering support and outstanding teaching provided by an experienced body of passionate educators, means that students leave us with true belief in and understanding of themselves. They also are filled with the confidence to pursue their future ambitions with the resilience to succeed.   

Clifton High School's reputation for excellent levels of academic achievement can be found on our Examinations Results Page.  Whilst a strong academic focus is important and upholding high academic standards is fundamental in our Sixth Form, our School also understands that success is not measurable by results alone. With this in mind, we encourage our Sixth Form students to develop their talents beyond the classroom and immerse themselves in the wide range of leadership and co-curricular opportunities available.

Our bespoke 'Above and Beyond' Programme further motivates students to pursue their academic interests removed from the demands of A levels. As educators, we believe that the exploration of sports, drama, music, Young Enterprise, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award, to name but a few, all contribute to students realising their full potential.

If you are considering how Clifton High School’s Sixth Form can benefit your child, we encourage you to contact our Head of Sixth Form, Mr Tom Appleby, who will offer her invaluable experience and knowledge to help guide your child in their A level decision-making and journey beyond School into Further Education.   

We very much look forward to meeting you during a personal tour or at one of our Sixth Form Open Days.
