Welcome to Sixth Form at Imberhorne
Imberhorne is a successful, happy community where staff are committed to developing the full potential of all students.
Varied challenges, exciting opportunities
Our excellent academic record along with the great emphasis we place on personal development creates a thriving and vibrant school community. We believe we provide students in the Sixth Form with an education of the highest quality in a stimulating and supportive environment. Upon joining our Sixth Form students are embarking on a different journey with new and varied challenges and exciting opportunities. Students will be prompted to think and work hard; higher level study is demanding.
We also focus on preparing students for the next step in life after Sixth Form. A significant number progress to university, pursuing a wide range of courses at many highly rated institutions. We are equally proud of students who follow different pathways where apprenticeships or alternative educational routes have afforded them some wonderful opportunities. Most important to us is the fact that all students are able to follow the path best suited to them as individuals.
High expectations, outstanding teaching
Students learn best when they are happy, encouraged, and challenged. Staff here get to know students well and know how to get the best of out of them. Students find that they are often in smaller classes meaning they experience a high degree of personal interaction with teachers.
We are proud of our consistent academic record in the Sixth Form. This grows out of high expectations and the outstanding teaching we provide. We have a broad and varied curriculum, at the core of which is a strong academic spine. Significant numbers of students study the Sciences as well as Maths, English and Humanities subjects. Our vibrant and successful curriculum also has additional strengths in other areas such as Languages, Creative Arts, as well as a variety of vocational options.
We expect students to be active participants in their learning and want them to question, discuss, and reflect together in lessons as well as beyond the classroom. Students also develop resilience and must be prepared to persevere.
