The sixth form is fun, enjoyable, interesting, rewarding, lots of fun but hard work, a gateway to university and employment
What do students say about the Sixth Form at St. Martin s School? Sixth form is very different to Year 11. You have a lot more freedom and responsibility for your own learning. You get treated like an adult. Sixth Form life requires independent learning, hard work and organisation. It is the realisation of how life is..
Being in the sixth form is interesting and challenging as it allows for greater independence and self management. It s like school but with different clothes and the teachers treat you like you are older
Sixth form is hard work but enjoyable if you balance your priorities. It s somewhere where everyone knows each other and you broaden your horizons by working hard and enjoying each moment
