The Sixth Form at BGSB

The Sixth Form years have never been more critical. With increased competition for good university places and careers, the choices that are made now undoubtedly will have a major effect on the futures of all Fifth Form (Year 11) pupils.   To help parents and boys with such choices please see our Downloads section, in addition the Russell Group have produced a useful publication called 'Informed Choices' which gives extremely useful information relating to the choice of courses at post 16.

The Sixth Form at BGSB is a friendly, supportive and adult community which welcomes applications from students who have not previously been at the school as well as from those who have.

The two years in the Sixth Form are potentially the most exciting and rewarding years of a pupil's school career.  BGSB offers choice, quality teaching in small classes, a vast array of sporting, extra-curricular, leadership and service opportunities coupled with excellent pastoral care and guidance, tailored to the needs of today's young adults. Our staff give outstanding individual support to all pupils and this remains an essential feature of Sixth Form life.

This is a particularly exciting time to be joining the Sixth Form at BGSB since we hope that the new Joint Sixth Form Centre will begin construction in Summer 2013 and will be ready for September 2014. (See below)

We believe the Sixth Form at BGSB provides an excellent all-round education and is the perfect stepping stone for university, college and life beyond full-time education. It is our aim that the boys leave us at the end of the Sixth Form as grounded, intelligent, articulate and considerate individuals ready to relish every opportunity and to live life to the full.
