In the Sixth Form pupils can study Philosophy at A Level. This course helps to enhance analytical and evaluative skills thus supporting the ability to reason. Presenting ideas logically, questioning and clear headed thinking are useful in so many professions. A Level Philosophy may also particularly appeal to pupils that studied RE at GCSE. We enhance our learning by attending Philosophy conferences. Our lessons are fun, reflective and thought-provoking and take students on a journey of intellectual discovery. Many of our former cohorts have gone on to study Philosophy, Theology or Religious Studies at university. As a vibrant and committed department we work hard to ensure that our pupils are able to unlock their potential. Pupils enjoy lessons and are encouraged to think independently, to debate and to analyse. These vital skills will provide an excellent basis for their further education.
A Minimum of 6 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above to include English and Mathematics. At least a Grade 6 is obtained in the subjects the student would like to study in the Sixth Form. International students will be asked to sit a test in English and Mathematics.
