Preparation for life beyond school
Sixth Form is an exciting stage as pupils prepare for university and life beyond school. Our role is to provide expert guidance while giving pupils the freedom and independence to flourish as individuals. Above all, we want every Sixth Form pupil to thrive, both academically and socially.
The size of our Sixth Form means that we know each pupil’s strengths and can offer them the individual attention they need to fulfil their potential.
Dedicated tutors
Our team of dedicated tutors draw on a wealth of experience to ensure pupils feel fully supported and guided throughout the UCAS process, whilst never failing to provide exceptional pastoral care. The majority of pupils achieve a place at their first-choice university, with bespoke preparation programmes well established for Oxbridge, Medicine, Veterinary Science and Law. For pupils considering alternative routes after their A Levels, we can support them in applying for apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships, as well as those planning their Gap Year.
What subjects are taught at Sixth Form?
We offer a wide choice of A Level subjects where inspirational teaching and small classes enable pupils to achieve outstanding results.
Pupils are encouraged to take either an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to allow for in-depth research into an area of their choice, or follow the CTH Leith’s Professional Cookery Course, providing a qualification recognised by Universities for its rigour and development of skills beyond the curriculum.

All courses are available subject to demand; a course may not run if there is insufficient demand.
Boarding in Sixth Form
Many families find flexi-boarding a great option for their son or daughter. Some pupils who come from slightly further afield, perhaps Oxfordshire, The Cotswolds or Staffordshire, take advantage of one to three nights flexi-boarding a week.
This allows pupils the chance to engage with evening activities, whether academic or social and allows for a slightly later wake up call in the morning as she will be staying on site.
Day pupils are each given two to three nights boarding per term at no additional cost so every pupil can take advantage of boarding life at Malvern St James.
