Welcome to Holy Trinity Sixth Form 

A message from the Head of Sixth Form

I have found it an absolute privilege and honour to lead the 6th Form at Holy Trinity School and I am incredibly proud of the success, progress and achievements that all of our students have achieved. Due to our relatively small numbers, we offer both academic and pastoral support that is very personalised and ensure that your lessons are challenging, aspirational and rewarding. Your two years here will give you the opportunity to achieve, mature and prepare for your future in higher education, training or work in a setting that prides itself on knowing every student very well.

We offer a wide variety of subjects at A level and provide personalised teaching with facilities that ensure excellent progress is achieved by all.
Our small teaching groups (currently no more than 10, often smaller) ensure differentiated work to suit all individual needs. Our highest achievers are challenged to reach their full potential and target grade tracking and early intervention ensure progression throughout the academic year. Those with additional learning needs are fully catered for by committed subject staff and a highly trained team of support staff.

Our students are encouraged to be part of the pastoral house system and this supports the mentoring of younger students in both an academic and pastoral way. Leadership, communication and team working skills are at the heart of our extra curricular activities and all 6th Form students are encouraged to take a role within the leadership structure, year 7 reading buddies programme, SAG (Student Action Group) and whole school house events. .Sixth Form students have a valuable role within the whole school and many opportunities are available to demonstrate responsibility.

The bespoke Sixth Form Centre facilities away from the Main School offer independence in addition to all the resources the rest of the school has to offer, such as our on-site swimming pool.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Holy Trinity Sixth Form Centre in the near future.

Mrs Tamsin Fisher
Head of Sixth Form

 

Academic success

Academic success is at the heart of the Sixth Form. We prepare sixth form students to work independently within a tightly structured framework. A wide range of Advanced Level courses is offered. Classes are small enough for lessons to be conducted in a tutorial style. We believe this is excellent preparation for the type of learning students will encounter at college and university. Our teaching staff are approachable, supportive and enthusiastic. They are fully committed to every student fulfilling their potential.

Entry to university is highly competitive. Often a single grade in one subject is the deciding factor in whether a student gains entry to their first choice university. We provide high quality guidance on university and college admissions and on careers in general. Students are given plenty of support with their university applications. In most cases these are completed and sent by half-term in the Autumn Term of Year 13.

Sixth Form Prospectus

The A level courses at HTS Sixth Form Centre foster the academic rigour, independent learning and sense of enquiry that are prerequisites for entrepreneurial success and, more widely, for employability.
