Sharnbrook’s Sixth Form began in 1978 and, by 2010, will reach 630 students; a significant proportion of which go on to degree courses in Higher Education, 232 last year. With such a large Sixth Form (more than one third of the student population), a commitment to Post-16 education is obviously an important feature of the school. Wherever possible, all staff are encouraged to teach across both the age and ability ranges, including Post-16.
The Sixth Form facilities are excellent with the Sixth Form Centre being the key area which supports students’ studies.The Centre contains Sixth Form secretariat, a common room and dining facilities, lecture rooms and fully equipped and staffed Learning Resource Centre.
Students are encouraged to manage their own affairs and, also, to integrate into the wider life of the school through both the vertical tutoring system and a wide range of other activities.
