Why CHS Sixth Form?

Future-minded. World ready.

CHS Sixth Form is where independence flourishes, horizons widen, and futures begin to take shape. It is a vibrant, close-knit community where students are both supported and challenged, encouraged to explore their interests and take steps towards their future. 

Alongside this, our focus on wellbeing and personal growth ensures students are equipped with the confidence and adaptability to thrive beyond school. 

I am proud to work alongside an outstanding team of teachers who know our students well and are committed to helping every individual succeed. 

We would be delighted to welcome you to CHS Sixth Form, so you can experience this for yourself.

Head of Sixth Form 

Future Ready Curriculum

READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT

Academic study at CHS Sixth Form is rigorous and ambitious. Students are challenged to think deeply, explore ideas with curiosity and develop a genuine love of learning beyond examinations.

Alongside this, our Pathways Curriculum connects learning to what comes next. Through tailored university guidance and one-to-one careers support, every student gains clarity about their future, whether that leads to a leading university, a degree apprenticeship, studying abroad or an alternative route. 

Supported by our alumni network, mentoring and real-world opportunities, students build employability skills, insight and confidence to move forward with purpose and succeed on their own terms.
