About the Sixth Form

Sixth Form

Life in the sixth form is hard work but with teachers who treat you like mature young adults. The sixth form mentors guide you through the university application, choice of subjects and a range of other challenges both great and small. There is no school uniform but the requirement to dress like young professional people.

The sixth form offers change, a wealth of new opportunities and a chance to prepare for the future.

Great stress is laid on continuity of education form the Nursery to the sixth form, and our syllabuses and schemes of work reflect this. Most sixth formers study four AS levels in year twelve, although a few study five. In year thirteen pupils will study three A Levels and occasionally four. Work and progress is monitored by sixth form tutors. At A Level there are more than twenty subjects to choose from.

In August 2009 the students of Battle Abbey achieved school record breaking A Level results. 83% of all grades were at A and B with over half of all grades at A. Overall the sixth form recorded a 100% pass rate.
