Starting Year 12 is one of the best moments of a school career. Finally, you can choose the subjects you are best at and you can pursue deeply held interests. In addition to that, you now become a member of the Sixth Form and teachers do treat you differently. They will expect more of you and will treat you as the young adults you are. Your classes are smaller, the lessons are more frequent and your rapport with those teachers will grow stronger.

Of course, the academic programme is just one element of being in the Sixth Form at Windermere and our award winning IB programme offers multiple pathways to success. Equally important to us is the intention to develop kind young men and women of consequence. We want to nurture your passions and interests so that when you leave us you will be what we call global citizens, caring deeply about the world and the impact you can have on it.

And then of course there is the prospect of moving into Westmorland for your Sixth Form years. Westmorland is our bespoke boarding house that was designed with the needs of Sixth Form in mind. It is spacious and well-equipped to support your studies and relationships with your peers. It is a co-educational environment in which you learn to take more responsibility for yourself, with fewer restrictions and with greater freedom. It is intended to be an environment in which you prepare yourselves for a life beyond the confines of school.

Over the course of the Sixth Form, our students are given every opportunity to explore and define what they want from their future, whether it be a university course, a degree apprenticeship or a specific career choice and we pride ourselves on the support we give each pupil to help them realise their ambitions. As a non-selective school, our Sixth Form students consistently achieve in all aspects of their school careers and accomplish outstanding IB and BTEC results both inside and outside of the classroom.
