Welcome

Welcome from the Head of Sixth Form

Dear Sixth Formers,

The next two years will be very important ones in shaping your future career and education and we believe that Byron College provides the best opportunity for you to gain the self-confidence, social awareness, skills and qualifications which will serve you well in the years to come.   

Sixth Formers play a leading role in the life of Byron College in helping younger students in their studies, raising money for charity, being involved in all school functions and entering competitions related to their field of study. At the same time our students secure places at a wide range of Universities – such as Oxford and Cambridge, KCL, UCL, Imperial, Bath, LSE and many others. They follow an equally broad spectrum of courses – from Medicine to Computer Game Design.

Whether you are joining us as a new pupil or moving up from Senior School the first thing you will notice about life in the Sixth Form is that your relationship with your teachers has changed.  The learning process becomes much more of a partnership between yourself and teachers and you will quickly learn that they are here to help you fulfil your potential. You will also realise that the Sixth Form years offer greater freedom and opportunity, but along with this freedom comes more responsibility.  It is a time for you to take control of your own destiny: a time when you will make big decisions as you prepare for Higher Education and your future career.

You may find that A level is the most challenging work you have ever studied. The amount you are expected to cover, in lessons and in free time, may be greater than you thought. At the same time you will be looking forward to greater freedom and privileges. You may need help to get the balance right between your academic, your extracurricular and your social pursuits.  Everything is in place at Byron College to help you make these adjustments.  We are not a Sixth Form College and our smaller size allows us to retain a genuine sense of community and for teaching staff to offer focused individual support.  Our dedicated and experienced team offers a huge amount of advice that will guide you through your A level studies.

Yes, there will be high expectations, but we want you to leave Byron College believing that everything you strive for is possible.  You will explore exciting and extensive opportunities, be encouraged to be inquisitive and to innovate, to face challenge, take responsibility and show leadership, and to be a force for good in the community.

Welcome to our Sixth Form. Work hard; play hard and enjoy your time here.
