6th Form

A stepping stone to university

The Chigwell Sixth Form is a vibrant part of the School where students gain a greater sense of responsibility and purpose. Most of our students study four AS subjects in the Lower Sixth and specialise in three of these in their second year of A level. Chigwell's A level results are impressive: in recent years 99% of Chigwellians have moved on to degree courses at university, or music and other specialist colleges, with 8% entering Oxford and Cambridge universities.

Students also have the opportunity to engage in other activities beyond their academic studies. Our General Studies course enables them to explore a wide range of issues central to forming a broad understanding of social and political affairs. A Skills and Activities scheme enables students to participate in activities such as voluntary service in the community, sailing, art courses and exploring the history of film.

We regard the Sixth Form as a privileged place in the School and so students have the opportunity to enjoy greater freedoms whilst at the same time taking on greater responsibilities. All senior pupils show a general willingness to contribute to the day-to-day working of the School and many will assume considerable responsibility for the running of different areas of the School's life, in Chapel, Music, Drama, Sport and the social life of the Sixth Form.
