Warwick School has a large, thriving Sixth Form of almost 160 pupils. We welcome applications at this 16+ entry point where both current Warwick School pupils, and joiners from a wide range of state sector and independent schools, flourish in our supportive environment.

Our structure allows pupils to learn in the single-sex classrooms that they have known throughout their time at Warwick and to socialise and study with their neighbours on the Warwick Campus at King's High School. There are also opportunities to collaborate with our other Foundation schools, including the sixth formers from The Kingsley School on our Leamington Campus.

The basis of the Sixth Form experience at Warwick is a structured academic programme. All pupils are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for their own work ethic. A range of exciting, engaging careers events and activities, including our varied Pathways programmes, prepare pupils for university or the world of work.

By developing confidence and independence, pupils at Warwick School Sixth Form achieve excellent results and become future-ready for their next step. We aim for our pupils to leave us as confident, not arrogant, young men, who will have a positive impact on the world both now and in the future. 

Beyond the classroom

Most of our pupils will move on to university and we are justly proud of the tremendous expertise that Warwick possesses in helping pupils gain places at the most prestigious universities in the UK and beyond. The Sixth Form years also provide pupils with the opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizons through the Sixth Form Enrichment Programme which enables them to gain an Extended Project Qualification on an area of their own specialist interest.

Of course, Sixth Form life is not all about study. The pupils gain much from the responsibilities and leadership opportunities offered by the Prefect System, Peer Supporting and the positions of responsibility available within the House System.

School societies are also generally established and run by Sixth Formers, and in recent years we have been delighted to find Sixth Formers, on their own initiative, establishing a new Economics Society, the Journal Society (for the discussion of new scientific developments), the Psychology Society as well as the Sixth Formers' own pupil-led school magazine.

Many pupils also join the Combined Cadet Force, engage in regular Community Service or participate, at any level, in our numerous sports teams. The attitude, involvement and performance of a senior pupil certainly does much to define the character of the school.

Best of Both Worlds

Within the Shared Sixth Form Centre, both Warwick School boys and King's High girls can socialise and study together. When the bell goes, Warwick pupils turn right to their classrooms and King's pupils turn left to theirs. In the Shared Sixth Form Centre, there are facilities for private study, relaxation and easy access to members of staff with specific responsibility for the Sixth Form. The Centre provides a wonderful opportunity for Sixth Formers to develop a community spirit based on the principles of self-management and collective responsibility.

Sixth formers from The Kingsley School on our Leamington Campus also participate and host careers, sport, and co-curricular activities, ensuring a truly integrated experience for all pupils in Years 12 and 13 at all our Foundation schools.
