Academic Life
The Sixth Form is an exciting time at Monkton, with a rich and diverse range of A Level subjects, enabling students to progress to a wide variety of university courses and other post-Monkton routes. Our students are academically ambitious, pushing themselves to thrive in many areas of school life.
You will be taught by outstanding teachers, passionate about their subjects, who draw the best from you, both academically and in growing attitudes and habits to enable you to reach your full potential.
SUPPORTING YOUR PROGRESS
In Year 12 and 13, your 1:1 tutor becomes ever more important, as you meet regularly to discuss your progress, your hopes and aspirations, and work together to create a plan to make these a reality.
This personal connection means that you will be known individually, and given tailor-made, specific advice in areas as varied as creating a weekly study plan, exploring post-Monkton plans, careers advice and guidance with friendships.
Prerequisites
In general students entering Year 12 need to have reached an average of grade 6 at GCSE, with many A Level courses requiring minimum grades in specific GCSE subjects. Where these requirements are not met, it is sometimes possible to agree a suitable programme of study in discussion with the academic team.
For those applying to join Monkton for the Sixth Form we also require a reference from the current school, school reports, CAT4 assessments and GCSE (or equivalent) mock results. Applicants may be asked to sit a subject-specific paper as part of the application.
Please contact us to discuss A Level options, so we can help you find the right programme.
