The Sixth Form Team assists the pupils and their parents with the university application process including international applications.
Mrs Caroline Elly – Futures Advisor (Careers).
Mrs Jen Hoddinott – Assistant Head of Sixth Form (Universities).

Mr Simon James – Head of Sixth Form.
Mr Robin Popplewell – University Applications Assistant. Advises on all aspects of university entrance, responsible for the administration of students’ applications and finalises all references.
Mr Richard Taylor – Assistant Head of Sixth Form (Progression). Students intending to apply to the most competitive universities will undertake preparation and familiarisation programmes which extend beyond their individual academic departments. Orientation visits, Critical Thinking lessons, Pre-Interview Assessment preparation and submitted work will all be required to enhance a competitive application. Many students need additional support in managing their working lives both at home and at school (particularly in their study periods). A structured programme for the latter aims to manage the transition from the close supervision of the fifth year to the opposite end of the scale at university.
Mr Ben Whitworth – i/c medical, veterinary & dentistry applications. Course and work experience advice, preparation for UKCAT & BMAT, and Multiple Mini Interviews are dealt with in a bespoke fashion.
