Life in the Sixth Form

At Kingham Hill, Sixth Form is more than the final step in a pupil’s school journey - it is a place to grow in confidence, ambition and character. Our Sixth Formers are challenged to achieve academic excellence, whilst embracing the opportunities to lead, serve and discover who they want to become.

With inspiring teaching, outstanding pastoral care, small class sizes and a vibrant co-curricular programme, every pupil is known, valued and supported to fulfil their potential.

Whether progressing to leading universities in the UK and overseas or preparing for future careers, our pupils leave Kingham Hill equipped with the skills, resilience and independence to flourish far beyond the classroom.
