Sixth Form at More House aims to provide the best all-round education possible in preparation for happiness and success in adult life.

We strive to support pupils who are clever, but who experience challenges in their education resulting from weakness in their language development, literacy, or other specific language-related learning difficulties including Dyslexia, DLD and associated conditions.

Our Sixth Formers are the very best advertisement for the school at all levels and provide inspiration and encouragement to our younger pupils who may worry that their own success is unlikely. We are so proud of our Year 12 and 13 students, who realise enormous personal growth and maturity during their time in the More House Sixth Form.

Our academic and vocational curricula

The Sixth Form’s rich curriculum offer comprises traditional A-Levels as well as a breadth of A-Level-equivalent Level 3 BTEC courses across different disciplines. We also offer a Level 3 Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) - an opportunity to supplement UCAS points through a personal research project.

For some students, entry directly to A-Level or equivalent Level 3 courses may not be appropriate. We therefore offer a Foundation Programme within the Sixth Form, affording opportunities for continuing GCSE-equivalent Level 2 qualifications and support to retake GCSE English or Mathematics in order to secure Grade 4 or higher. 

The best chance to succeed

The school is renowned for providing a mainstream, academic curriculum, with specialist understanding of the best way to deliver learning and support for our students, so that they gain confidence and belief in themselves, and achieve exceptional success in public examinations and social development.

Our class-sizes in the Sixth Form are typically very small, and often fewer than ten pupils. Teachers are trained in planning and delivering learning opportunities that play to the strengths of our pupils, building their independence as learners and preparing them for their next steps. The school has a large team of specialist experts, including qualified Literacy Tutors, Speech and Language Therapists, and Occupational Therapists who are on-hand to advise teachers, and to support students in their studies.

Growing as a person

Sixth Form is a time when our students grow as individuals, developing a wide set of skills which enables them to design and pursue ambitious futures. The More House Sixth Form delivers a truly exciting and inspiring breadth of opportunities for our students to make the most of their time here, building skills and understanding which will give them the edge in the worlds of university study, apprenticeships, employment, community-engagement and independent living.

We are extremely proud of our students’ academic successes, where they frequently beat national expectations for A-Level, GCSE and equivalent results. The majority of our Sixth Formers progress to university degree study, and some progress to post-eighteen apprenticeship programmes, further education courses, or directly into employment.

A wealth of trips and co-curricular opportunities broaden students’ experience and confidence, including domestic and international residential excursions, sports, fundraising, music ensembles, and much more. There is also comprehensive careers planning and university application support.
