From The Headteacher, Mr Nockton

This is a really exciting time for you as you make the crucial decision about

where to continue your studies after GCSEs. Our Sixth Form offers you a great range of subjects and will provide you with all the support that you need to achieve excellent results. Sixth Form students at Pershore enjoy high levels of academic success, with outcomes that are amongst the best in Worcestershire.  Our Sixth Form students play a vital part in the life of the school and mature into impressive young people who greatly enjoy the breadth of opportunities for student leadership.

From The Sixth Form Team

The most striking aspect of Pershore Sixth Form is the friendly and supportive atmosphere. The Sixth Form students here have a variety of skills and talents and co-exist happily in a co-operative community; those entering the Sixth Form from other schools settle in very quickly.  They are purposeful in their work and mature in their outlook. The staff are extremely dedicated and put huge amounts of time and energy into their work.

This Sixth Form Team comprises Zoe Starkey (Head of Sixth Form) and Cassie Waters (Sixth Form Pastoral Manager). There is always someone available to help.

Realising Your Potential

A programme, tailored to the needs of each individual student, is provided for all to be able to recognise their potential and develop into healthy, confident young people that leave with the skills necessary to cope with life beyond Sixth Form.

At the start of Year 12, you will be set challenging, aspirational target grades. Your progress will be reviewed regularly and swift action taken to tackle underperformance. If required, study support sessions will ensure that your full potential is achieved. We work closely with parents/carers, teachers and support staff to ensure that effective action is taken when required.

The Sixth Form Centre

The Sixth Form Centre (with its own Wifi!) comprises a large common room (with a range of seating, a kitchen and vending machines), ICT Suite (with 40 workstations), a brand new café, serving a wide selection of delicious hot and cold food and drinks, a large (regularly supervised) study room and a range of large and small study rooms to allow individual students to choose the optimal place to study and relax.

All students also receive a rich and varied PSHE programme that covers a range of topics from ‘Driving safely’ through to CPR and strategies to support stress and anxiety.  In addition to the above, there are also a wealth of extra-curricular activities on offer. These include Sixth Form sports, a visit to the German Christmas market, the legendary Inflatables Day, the New York trip, yoga sessions, Winter Ball and many more.

GCSE English and Maths

Owing to the importance of GCSE English and Mathematics for employment and entry to Higher Education, we provide (compulsory) lessons to enable Sixth Form students to resit and achieve the minimum of a G4 in each. We also offer any student with a G4 in either Mathematics or English lessons to allow them to resit and achieve a higher grade.
