Sixth Form Prospectus

Sixth Form Centre Placed at the heart of the school, the Sixth Form Centre occupies the ground floor of Beech Court and has university-style facilities including open plan social learning spaces, social and private study areas, a collaborative working area, meeting rooms, outside seating and an “innovation room” to encourage ‘free-thinking’. The careers office, UCAS facilities and sixth form staff are all based in Beech Court and the building’s design and layout provides easy access to these and the library. The Centre is also in close proximity to the café, sports centre, science block and drama facilities. A level choices and curriculum At Abingdon we are able to accommodate almost all of the nearly 150 combinations of A level subjects that our students want to take. We fit our timetable around the subjects our students want to study and not vice versa. In most years we teach around 24 A level and Pre-U subjects. Drama, D&T, Politics and Economics are currently taught jointly with the girls from St Helen’s.
