Sixth Form
Welcome to Sixth Form
We want your time at Alcester Grammar School sixth form to be a happy one. We expect high academic standards where students take responsibility for their own learning and personal development, within a strong framework of support and guidance. Most importantly we’re committed to fostering a sense of community where being a decent human being and treating all with respect is at the core.
We offer a wide range of 24 courses, 23 A levels and 1 diploma, with the freedom to choose ANY combination of subjects, (we do not 'option block'), plus the EPQ should you wish to. Most crucial of all is that all students start 4 subjects (as students did in all sixth forms until recently!) and retain critical flexibility before making the decision to drop to 3 later in year 12. This maximises final A-level grades.
Our Year 12 and 13 students serve as role models to younger students. Active participation in extracurricular activities and visits is encouraged and there are many opportunities to both showcase your talents and develop your leadership skills.
And finally preparation for your post-18 life. You're here for a mere 21 months! We devote a lot of time and effort to preparing you to engage with and make a contribution to the world. All students in Year 12 and 13 engage with our innovative LIFE programme - covering not only core PSHE, but also practical skills such as cookery, changing a tyre, budgeting and ironing!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about joining us in Year 12.
