The sixth form at any educational establishment provides a vitally important period of transition for its students, whether it be between school and university, school and gap year or school and the workplace. Our pupils learn, excel and flourish at Clifton High Sixth, and we pride ourselves on seeing them develop into well-balanced and fulfilled  ndividuals who have developed their talents to the full.

We encourage each student to adopt the very best possible learning techniques. The importance of independent learning, self-motivation and resilience cannot be over emphasized; we believe it is our role to prepare your son or daughter in the best possible way, not only for excellent A Level results but also for the rigours of life and learning that they will face in the future.

We encourage the students to develop a breadth, both academically, for example in the combination of subjects they choose to study, and socially, in the groups they mix with and the activities they embark upon. Throughout the sixth form, students are encouraged to take on responsibility and have many opportunities to lead and become active in our community. There is a wide range of extra-curricular activities made available to them, as well as many lectures, workshops, visits, trips and tours.

Our sixth form is becoming increasingly popular, both with our own pupils and those from elsewhere. The sixth form is almost at capacity, and it appears likely that interest from outside students will be at least as high as it was last year. We shall always give first priority to our own year 11 students but we recommend that everyone, both from CHS and elsewhere, register a commitment the Clifton High Sixth as soon as possible. We very much look forward to welcoming you.
