SIXTH FORM

Head of Sixth Form Welcome

I am immensely proud to be Head of Sixth Form – albeit on a temporary basis while we await the arrival of the newly appointed Ms Hase.

We are extremely fortunate to have our own unique location in a university style campus with our students enjoying an adult learning environment while benefitting from our world class facilities and the privilege of role-modelling for the school’s younger students. Our Sixth Form provides the highest quality education. We cater for academic rigour but also the important inter and intra-personal development needed for happy, safe, confident and successful lives – we recognise that social skills and individual wellbeing forms the foundation stone for everything else.

The majority of our students go on to take up places at their first choice university following individual support through the UCAS process. These include Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group universities but students are actively encouraged to explore what is best for them as individuals. Our excellent careers team – working in concert with tutors and wider Sixth Form team – provide information, advice and guidance to also support students in following apprenticeship and employment routes once they leave Sixth Form – we personalise experiences to meet need.

While many of our Sixth Formers have chosen to continue their journey with us from Year 11, we welcome a significant number each year from across Coventry and Warwickshire. This attraction to NLS is due to breadth of curriculum offer, support given to each individual through a well-established tutoring programme, variety in our Enrichment Programme and opportunities provided in Leadership and Mentoring. We have our own Sixth Form Student Committee including the school’s Head Boy and Girl as well as Deputies from the Sixth Form student body. We believe our students should actively develop their leadership skills, taking responsibility for their own learning and playing a wider role in whole school life.

Additionally, our results speak for themselves (we score in the very top percentiles for progress in individual years and across time) and these contribute to our very successful reputation.

The strong foundations we build allow our students to achieve their potential and to be successful in their journey towards and through their future pathways.
