Personal Development in Sixth Form is important because your education is about more than just your qualifications. We want you to develop the skills, experiences and confidence you need to succeed beyond Sixth Form. You will be encouraged to take ownership of your personal development and choose opportunities that genuinely interest you, whether that is leadership, volunteering, sport, the arts, work experience, enrichment or learning a new skill.
The purpose is simple: to help you become a confident, independent and well-rounded young adult who is ready for their next steps.
Becoming a mentor is a fantastic Sixth Form personal development opportunity. It allows you to use your experience to support younger students while developing valuable skills that will benefit you in your own future.
