The Sixth Form at BGS: Curriculum and Learning

The Sixth Form years at BGS are an exciting time, when the decisions you take begin to shape your future. You’ll gain more independence and also be expected to take more responsibility for your own learning.

There are around 300 students in the Sixth Form at BGS and our size is one of our great strengths. Academically, it means BGS can offer you the choice of around 30 A level courses, as well as the International Baccalaureate (IB).

Some students will benefit from the focus of A level and Pre-U courses, while others will flourish by continuing the wider range of subjects offered by the IB Diploma. Both the IB and A level / Pre-U Courses strive to develop advanced learning skills and styles, independence and engagement with the wider community. Which ever route you choose, you'll be fully prepared for life after BGS, be that higher education, an apprenticeship or the world of work.

You'll also be part of the energetic and supportive place that is BGS Sixth Form. Study and socialising go hand in hand to create an atmosphere of friendship and a strong sense of community as you move into the final stage of your school career. Small class sizes, specialist teachers and up-to-date equipment and facilities will provide you with all you need to achieve the excellent results for which BGS students are known.
