Sixth Form
Years 12 & 13 (Ages 16 – 19)
“Years 12 and 13 are very important exam years and our academic team works closely with students to prepare them for these exams.”
Welcome to our Sixth Form
Our Sixth Form offers a wide range of A levels and a small number of other programmes, carefully designed to ensure that students of all interests and abilities can find a pathway to success at university or into the world of work. Supported by our dedicated careers counsellor with comprehensive career counselling for students, each student follows an individually tailored 2-year programme, carefully designed to support their aspirations and goals. This programme normally includes 4 A levels, chosen from a wide range of subjects, and may include additional qualifications in languages or IELTS, or the IPQ project qualification to further enrich their academic journey for A level in Malaysia.
As one of the leading British boarding schools, we prepare students not only for academic success but for more fulfilling future, where they are well-equipped to excel in a global landscape.

Our Sixth Form students enjoy access to a plethora of activities, trips, leadership activities and opportunities for self-discovery beyond the classroom – in sports, the Arts, debating, community service and more, and they are encouraged to immerse themselves in school life, taking part in – and leading – a whole host of activities. This breadth of experiences enables students to build a portfolio of interests and achievements which helps them to stand out in the fiercely competitive worlds of university admissions or employment.
Our Sixth Form students enjoy certain privileges such as exiting the campus during lunch times, a spacious common room and a dedicated study space. They are supported by their form tutor, who is always the first port of call for parents, as well as their Head of Sixth Form, our dedicated university and careers counsellor, and our school counselling team.
