From the Bournemouth School
We are immensely pleased of our sixth formers because they are a group of young men and women who fully participate in the life of the school. They are ambitious, aspirational, caring, and highly motivated. We are thrilled that the vast majority of GCSE students from Bournemouth School decided to continue their education in the Sixth form. We are also thrilled to welcome a rising number of students from nearby schools, including an increasing proportion of female pupils. We think that effective caring and nurturing of pupils is necessary for academic success. A variety of enrichment and leadership opportunities have been created by our committed sixth form leadership team and can be customised to meet the needs of each person. With this customised programme and the option of taking three or four A-Levels, you'll be challenged, develop your full potential, and gain an edge over others in the job market.
