Sixth Form – Preparation for the Future
Transition at each key stage is a pivotal moment in a pupil’s journey, and we prioritise making it a positive, supported experience for pupils and their families. At Sherborne Senior School, preparing for the future is the foundation of everything we do. Through academic challenge, personalised guidance, and a culture that nurtures ambition, we shape confident, capable individuals ready to thrive at leading universities worldwide.
Our Sixth Form experience is designed as the first step towards university life, built around ambition, independence, and exceptional personalised support. With small class sizes, specialist teachers, and a broad range of A Level subjects, each pupil is guided from day one by our Academic Guidance Counsellor and dedicated pastoral team to build the academic profile, confidence, and clarity they need to succeed at world-class universities.
Pupils benefit from a structured university preparation programme, including personalised course planning, support with UCAS and global applications, personal statement and essay workshops, interview coaching, and specialist guidance for competitive pathways such as Medicine and Oxbridge.
Additional opportunities, such as work experience and the Extended Project Qualification, allow every learner to develop the skills, insight, and independence to thrive in higher education and beyond.
The results speak for themselves. In recent years, our pupils have achieved 100% acceptance to UK universities, with a significant proportion progressing to highly competitive top Russell Group institutions.
Beyond outstanding outcomes, we focus on developing the skills universities value most - resilience, leadership experience, the ability to think independently and the confidence to succeed.
Our approach ensures every pupil is ready to thrive at leading universities in the UK, US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and beyond.
