Where Ambition Finds Its Edge

Welcome to The Sixth Form, a space where confidence grows, choices matter, and futures take shape. This is more than a final chapter; it’s a launchpad for bold ambition, fearless thinking, and leadership that lasts a lifetime.

Here, students are prepared not just academically, but socially and strategically, equipped with the AESG BeMore attributes that power success in a world full of complexity, possibility, and global opportunity.

With a dedicated Sixth Form Common Room and direct access to the Head of Sixth Form, support is always within reach. And with a bright, modern coffee bar exclusive to Sixth Formers, students enjoy a space to recharge, connect, and build the friendships that will carry them forward.

 

In addition, our Sixth Form study area includes computers and individual study areas so that girls can quietly complete their studies while at school. These study sessions help students to take responsibility for their own learning and to develop the essential study skills that they will need at university and beyond.

Curriculum

66% of pupils received A* - A at A Level

Sixth Form pupils follow a broad and exciting curriculum, one which is designed to encourage them to become independent learners and develop a passion for lifelong learning.

We offer a variety of courses in the Sixth Form, including A-level courses in over 20 different subjects, as well as the AQA Extended Project Qualification.

Our small class sizes are of huge benefit to the girls as they receive tailored teaching, one-to-one support and university application help advice including our OXBRIDGE and Competitive Courses pathway programme.

Be empowered in an all-girls' environment 

We offer a wide range of A Level subjects, which will open doors to a vast choice of careers. Our all-girls' environment empowers girls to choose the subjects they love and they are ambitious in their choices of careers.

Girls don't have to worry about choosing male-dominated subjects such as Maths, Science and Computing. They are empowered to choose what interests and excites them and have the freedom to study these subjects in a supportive environment, producing outstanding results. 

74% of students studying a STEM subject at A Level were awarded A* to A grades.

 

Class sizes are small providing bespoke support. A maximum of 12 pupils per subject. 

There are no restrictions on the combinations of subjects and small teaching groups maximise learning. Most girls choose to study four subjects in the Lower Sixth and then continue with three of these subjects in the Upper Sixth. However, there can be variation, with some girls choosing five subjects in Lower Sixth and a few focusing on only three. We are proud to be able to offer this tailor-made approach.

Beyond the Classroom: Building Futures with Purpose

In Sixth Form, learning goes far beyond subject choices. Every student follows a forward-thinking PSHE programme designed to spark self-awareness, sharpen decision-making, and guide them through university applications and future pathways with clarity and confidence.

But it’s not just about personal ambition, it’s about impact. Students are encouraged to stay active, give back, and lead with heart through charity work and volunteering. It’s how they build resilience, empathy, and a sense of purpose.

Private study sessions are built into the timetable, giving students the space to dive deeper, researching, reading, refining ideas, and owning their learning journey. It’s independent, intentional, and designed to prepare them for the pace and expectations of life beyond school.

This is how futures are shaped, with vision, action, and a whole lot of heart.

Sixth form students at AESG


We actively encourage girls to study beyond the syllabus and departments will provide reading lists and extension material. Girls can also approach our School Librarian for additional support and resources.

All girls in the Sixth Form continue to use their iPads for all lessons and independent study. They also have access to Unifrog to help them make the best of their University choices and career pathways.
