Ranked in the top 5% of top performing A-Level schools in UK since 2018.
St Clare’s Sixth Form provides an unrivalled educational experience for students of 16-18 years of age.
Combining academic excellence with outstanding pastoral care and a wide-ranging extra-curricular programme, we give students the opportunity to reach their full potential - both academically and personally.
Our Sixth Form team offers guidance on A-Level choices, degree programmes and university selection, while experienced mentors with in-depth knowledge of higher education advise on careers, UCAS applications and university interview techniques (including Oxbridge), supporting each individual student.
As part of a small Sixth Form community, students will take greater responsibility for their learning but will find one-to-one support readily available, helping them to achieve the very best results possible.
VISION AND VALUES
Our strong curriculum, steadfast pastoral care and enriching extra-curricular programme enable us to provide pupils with the freedom and support to flourish independently.
