Advantages of Sherfield Sixth Form vs a Sixth Form College
Sherfield Sixth Form is a lot smaller than a college, which means that a more personalised approach to academic and co-curricular activities can be taken. Whilst we aim to provide the freedom of a college, with off-site privileges and a more relaxed dress code, whilst also providing students with a structured and supportive environment for their studies. This helps students to manage their time effectively so that all deadlines are met and sufficient time is spent on independent study.
Advantages of Sherfield Sixth Form vs a State School Sixth Form
Sherfield class sizes in the Sixth Form are considerably smaller than those in a state school, which means that teachers can personalise the teaching strategies they use in lessons. This helps to ensure that students are always challenged in lessons and are able to engage in effective dialogues with their teacher on the material they are learning. Small class sizes also mean that students are able to access additional one to one support and benefit from regular assessments and personalised feedback on their examination technique.
Advantages of staying on at Sherfield Sixth Form vs moving to a Sixth Form College
Staying onto the Sixth Form at Sherfield allows student to build on established relationships and take on additional leadership roles and responsibilities in a familiar and friendly environment. Students make exceptional progress in the Sixth Form through the supportive study environment we offer, as well as the long-established insight their teachers have into the strategies they need to implement to help students succeed. In addition to regular assessment and feedback, we also offer two mock exam periods in Year 13, which provide students with an opportunity to revise material covered in the first year, ready for their final examinations.
