The Sixth Form
The Sixth Form academic programme at St Edward’s is rigorous and rewarding. Pupils are expected to be self-motivated and to work hard, and are supported in their endeavours by a wide network of specialists and advisors. With a typical class size of 8 – 10 pupils to one teacher our Sixth Formers are assured of exceptional guidance and pastoral support and with more than 25 subjects available to choose from pupils can shape their academic programme to suit their interests and aspirations.
Higher Education and Careers guidance is comprehensive. Specialist advice is available on all aspects of applying to university in the UK, the US and Europe. There is also tailored support for those applying to Oxford and Cambridge. The Careers Education Department provides careful monitoring of pupils’ career options in a robust programme embedded in the academic timetable.

Being at school in a world-famous university city, as part of a friendly, engaged community, means that the opportunities are limitless. Join – or start – an academic society, take up an instrument, put on a play, join a sports team, draw on the academic excellence of Oxford University, see plays, gigs and concerts, hear top speakers – or simply enjoy the sheer beauty of the city.
