Additional Reading

As a Sixth Form we want to encourage our students to become engrossed in their learning and find a love of developing their knowledge. A key aspect of our vision for the sixth form is that students developp scholarship; selecting reading beyond what they are learning in the classroom and for their prep work allows them to do this, and prepares them for future study.
