All pupils continue with their sport commitments in the Sixth Form. For some this continues to be high level team sports such as hockey and tennis; for others it becomes more tailored, and there are expert coaching staff on hand to provide classes and programmes in activities such as circuit training, fencing, football, volleyball and yoga. The Skills for Life programme continues throughout the Sixth Form. Many girls also continue with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. All girls are encouraged to maintain a healthy balance in their lives, and are supported in this through the oversight of their tutor and the Head of House.
The Sixth Form take the lead in organising major school events such as our Shrove Tuesday celebrations, charity and fund-raising events, and supporting younger girls as minders and buddies. They may take on roles as House Captains, organising House events and preparing younger girls for House competitions in areas such as drama, music and sport. All academic departments have their own clubs and societies, and these are very often run by Sixth Form girls. Sixth Form girls help run school committees such as the Charities Committee, the Social Committee and the Cyber and Tech Committee. They are also involved in leading girls in prayer and liturgy. Prefects meet regularly with the Senior Management Team for feedback and discussion. A team of Sixth Form girls writes, edits and publishes WHAT magazine, an annual periodical of current affairs and feature journalism that is sold for charity.
