Roedean

Intellectually curious, prepared, socially aware, creative and passionate, resilient, and confident – that’s a Roedean Sixth Former.  The Sixth Form at Roedean promises a journey of intellectual stimulation and challenge, combined with a wealth of opportunities and experiences in a happy and caring environment.  These final years of school will provide you with a solid and powerful springboard to the next stage of your education, and onwards into 21st century society.

• Life in the Sixth Form is a liberating experience – for the first time in your school career, you will be able to study the subjects you love, and discard those which interest you less.

• You will have the opportunity to study your chosen subjects in depth, but you must be prepared for the fact that the move into the Sixth Form is a significant step.

• You will normally specialise in three A Level subjects in the Sixth Form. All subjects are new linear, which means that you wil only sit formal examinations at the end of Year 13. This enhances the breadth and depth of your subject knowledge. You will find the increasing emphasis on individual study gives you more space to develop your own ideas and sense of personal involvement in your work.

• In addition to your studies, you will have the opportunity to take on new responsibilities and leadership, and to participate in our extensive range of co-curricular activities, visits, and the Community Action Programme. All Year 12 students carry out an independent research project in a topic of their choosing, with the opportunity to continue this into an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
