Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School For Boys - Sixth Form

Sixth Form

Boys usually choose four subjects which will be studied for both AS and A-level, although provision can be made for five to be taken. These subjects can only be chosen after receiving recommendations from that subject teacher. Entry to the Sixth Form is dependent on gaining enough such recommendations. All boys in the Sixth Form are made to wear a suit. One of the main focuses of sixth form is preparation for entry into higher education. As a result the school focuses on career advice, the UCAS application process, personal statements, finance and other things related to university entry. The school also encourages that students partake in a wide range of extra curricular actives both outside of and during school time, and students who do not take part in sport on Wednesday afternoons take up voluntary service in the community.

    Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
