Sixth Form

The emphasis lies on strong academic achievement coupled with numerous opportunities to develop and foster the strengths of each individual in a caring and stimulating environment. We are extremely proud of our success rate at A level, allowing students to proceed to some of the best universities in the country, including Oxford and Cambridge. In addition to the wide range of subjects we offer, our students follow a Religious and General Studies Programme, take part in activities and hold posts of responsibility within the school. A well-established tutorial system supports and encourages each girl to fulfil her true potential.

As part of a whole school, which provides education to girls from 2½ to 18, the Sixth Form is a natural progression in the education process at Notre Dame. Naturally, though, we offer a welcoming, supportive environment to students who join us from outside, enabling them to integrate fully. During their two Sixth Form years, our students build on skills and values already acquired and develop into confident young women, ready to take their roles in society.
