The Sixth Form at St Edward’s 

Around 60 new Sixth Formers are warmly welcomed into the St Edward’s community each year and choose between A Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Most Teddies pupils progress through the School from the Shell year to the Upper Sixth. Numbers are gently increased in the Sixth Form to welcome a new group of young people who bring fresh perspectives and added vitality to the existing community.

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. Academic work is enhanced by a stimulating programme of speakers, academic societies, visits and numerous enrichment opportunities in Oxford and in London, nationally and internationally.

 

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. Find out more about our Careers and Higher Education Department here.

 
 

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.
