Welcome to Sixth Form at St Helen and St Katharine, the best two years of school life! It is the time when you take control of your learning, pursue the subjects you enjoy and feel passionate about, and are given the freedom and independence to manage your own experiences. You will have challenging, exciting lessons, learn beyond the curriculum, give back to your school and wider community and have opportunities beyond your imagination.

New Sixth Form Centre

Our brand new Sixth Form Centre will open in 2022.

It is a physical articulation of our values and vision for Sixth Form, providing students with the space and opportunity to grow their academic and extracurricular interests in readiness for their future.

The space echoes and anticipates the very best higher education institutions, smoothing the transition from school to university.

"We want to ensure that St Helen's Sixth Form continues to offer an unparalleled learning experience – this new building will embody the atmosphere of curiosity, independence and community which is so important to our Sixth Form."

Rebecca Dougall, Headmistress
