Welcome to Sixth Form
Life in the Sixth Form at Lingfield College offers an exciting bridge between school and university or a career path. It marks a clear transition for our students to a level of education that provides greater freedoms accompanied by more responsibility.
Our purpose-built Sixth Form Centre is a warm and motivating environment for students to study, meet and socialise. With access to specialist teaching rooms for careers education, a 150-seat lecture theatre, the Atrium Café and dedicated study rooms, students can explore and assert their independence within a vibrant and familiar community atmosphere.
Building on the strong foundations established at GCSE, the Sixth Form offers a broad and varied curriculum. Students feel the benefit of small classes and individual support and tuition that prepare them for university and beyond. In addition, our enrichment programme provides extensive opportunities for personal development through fieldwork, trips and a variety of educational and co-curricular activities. Students can participate in The Duke of Edinburgh Award, drama, sports and music, Extended Project Qualifications (EPQ) and other leadership opportunities.
Students leave our Sixth Form with a defined pathway, they are well-rounded, confident and with a sense of purpose, ready to discover the world beyond Lingfield.
The Sixth Form teachers have been so supportive, I wouldn't have achieved my grades without them. The guidance from the careers advisor and UCAS teams aided me every step of the way.
