The Sixth Form Experience

Our Sixth Form programme ensures that every student progresses towards their chosen future—whether it be further education, training, or employment. We emphasize employability skills such as leadership, teamwork, and self-discipline, which are essential for thriving in today’s world.

We broaden student perspectives through university visits, residential trips, cultural experiences, and regular guest speakers from business and education. Enrichment activities, such as sports, charity work, and work experience, play a key role in developing well-rounded students ready to contribute positively to society.

Enrichment and Leadership Opportunities

Enrichment is at the heart of life in Alleyne’s Sixth Form. Students are encouraged to participate in sports, Young Enterprise, leadership programs, and community service. These activities not only foster personal growth but also help students gain the experience needed to excel beyond the classroom.

Dedicated Support for Students

Our Sixth Form students receive personalized guidance from dedicated tutors and the Heads of Sixth Form. We ensure that all students are supported throughout their time at Alleyne’s, preparing them for life beyond school, whether they choose university, apprenticeships, or employment.

Getting the Balance Right

We have four core aims at Alleyne’s Sixth Form:

  • Every student achieves their personal best
  • Students will receive as much help as we can give to move to their next steps
  • Students to develop as confident, rounded individuals
  • Students feel happy and enjoy their experience at Alleyne’s
Dress Code

Smart casual clothing of students’ own choice:

  • Clean and smart
  • Plain polo shirt
  • Plain sweatshirt
  • Trousers or skirt
  • Shoes or trainer style shoes

At Alleyne’s Sixth Form, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom. Enrichment activities offer an exciting chance for you to expand your horizons, gain new skills, and boost your CV or university application. Every student is encouraged to participate in at least one form of enrichment alongside their academic studies.

Whether it’s giving back to the community, developing leadership skills, or gaining hands-on experience, there are countless ways to make the most of your time at Sixth Form. The Enrichment Programme is designed to complement your studies while helping you grow both academically and personally.

Why Participate?

Enrichment is a fantastic way to stand out. Not only will it enhance your personal development, but it also allows you to engage with new ideas and contribute to both school life and the wider community.

Many universities and employers look for students who have actively engaged in extracurricular activities that build key skills such as teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving.

How it Works

You are expected to dedicate approximately one hour per week to your chosen enrichment activity.

Remember, this does not include paid employment — it’s about gaining valuable experiences that help you grow and contribute in meaningful ways.
