From the Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys
We are a strong, welcoming community that gives our young people many opportunity to grow as leaders and engage in our extended curriculum in the arts, humanities, and science, which is founded on research.
This is in line with our concept that learning in the Sixth Form should prepare you for life beyond the traditional exam-focused curriculum and give you the skills and confidence to challenge conventional wisdom.
The History of Ideas programme, which introduces you to a variety of intellectual ideas, and the Extended Project Qualification, which is finished at the conclusion of Year 12, enrich these two aspects of the curriculum.
With the Tong Research Center set to open in late 2017, our commitment to giving our youth the opportunities to participate in intellectual discourse and think creatively will be strengthened.
We have a good academic track record and, as a lively and intellectually stimulating atmosphere, the majority of our students will gain offers from their top universities, including Russell Group universities like Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, UCL, and Imperial College.
We also have a track record of assisting those of you who would choose to look for job after completing your A level coursework.
The Sixth Form Team, which consists of the Head of Sixth Form, two Deputies, a Wellbeing Mentor, a Learning Mentor, the Director of Studies, and a UCAS consultant, will support you in achieving this goal. You will also receive support from a personal form tutor who you will meet twice a day.
We are providing you with a sixth form education that is truly of the highest calibre, allowing you to make your own dreams and aspirations a reality while having the best two years of your life thus far.
