Life in the Sixth Form
At Kingham Hill, Sixth Form is a transformative two-year journey in which pupils are encouraged to grow academically, physically and personally, while serving others and leading with integrity and purpose. These years are recognised as pivotal, and the school is committed to nurturing confidence, resilience and self-belief so that every pupil leaves fully prepared for life beyond school.
Sixth Form pupils are encouraged to take ownership of their programmes, embracing both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with increased independence. With support and challenge in equal measure, they are guided to develop the habits and character that underpin long-term success.
Being Intentional with Goals
Pupils are encouraged to think carefully about what they want to achieve and to approach their studies and wider commitments with focus and purpose, making the most of every opportunity available to them.
Being Organised
Strong time management is essential to success in the Sixth Form. Pupils are supported in developing effective organisational skills to balance academic work with their many other commitments.
Being Leaders
Pupils are urged to “do justly, love mercy and walk humbly,” becoming role models within the School community. They are encouraged to stand firm in their values and to act in ways that inspire and motivate others.
Being Aspirational
Believing in your own potential is central to our Sixth Form ethos. Pupils are supported to aim high, challenge themselves and recognise that they are uniquely gifted, with much to contribute to the world around them.
Being Kind
Kindness in thought, word and action lies at the heart of our community.. Pupils are reminded that everyone carries unseen challenges, and that compassion and empathy should shape their interactions.
Much of Sixth Form life revolves around academic study. Pupils spend a significant amount of time in lessons and are expected to use their independent study periods wisely, to complete prep, read beyond the curriculum and deepen their subject knowledge. Alongside their academic responsibilities, they play a full and active role in the wider life of the school: participating in sport and activities, supporting younger pupils, contributing to boarding or day house life, and embracing the privileges and responsibilities that come with senior status.
