Whether you are a current student at Sandringham or one of the
many external students who choose to join the school in the Sixth
Form, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our Sixth Form to
you.
Welcome
You will be part of an extremely exciting, friendly and happy
learning community at Sandringham School as one of over 320
intelligent and articulate young adults. It is a time of
opportunities and experiences: academic, social and cultural and we
aim to help you successfully complete your formal education before
moving on to University, further education or work.
The next two years will be some of the best years of your life
and, in my view, there is no better place to be than at Sandringham
school.
We look forward to welcoming you into the Sixth Form.

Sandringham school is open to all students who meet our entrance
criteria. Sixth form students have full access to a wide range of
courses through our own curriculum and the long established
BeauSandVer post 16 consortium with Beaumont and Verulam schools.
We offer you A level courses together with other level 3 applied
subjects; this ensures there is almost certainly something to suit
you. Most importantly, examination results at Sandringham and
across the consortium are outstanding, ensuring that you will have
the best preparation for your next steps.
“I am so grateful for all the amazing help and time that the
teachers gave us at Sandringham, it was amazing how often they
would be willing to sit down and go through things with us,
frequently outside of classroom hours. The teachers were so
encouraging and just brilliant.”
Chrissy (Medical undergraduate)

As a sixth form student you will benefit from a wide range of
specialist resources, including: dedicated teaching and seminar
rooms; PC suites; and two large study areas in the Sixth Form
Learning Centre.
Dedicated Resources
“Sandringham Sixth Form is a fantastic environment which keeps
getting bigger and better every year. It not only helped me to
decide what I want to do in the future, but it also encouraged and
supported me to aim as high as possible with my university
applications.”
James Riding Head Boy 2013-14 Currently studying at Magdalen
College, Oxford

There is also a Starbucks café for you to use throughout the
day. Wherever you are in the school you will have wireless access
so that you can bring your own devices to support your studies.
We also have a team of experienced specialist subject and
tutorial staff who will support you to become responsible,
independent learners. A structured programme of tutorials and
progress monitoring will engage you in fulfilling your potential in
your chosen specialist areas.
Sixth Formers play a unique and valuable role in the school,
contributing actively to the wider life of the school community.
You may help arrange and run events with younger students,
demonstrating high level leadership skills particularly through the
House System.
The Head Girl, Head Boy, Senior Prefects and various House and
Sports Captains as well as Sandringham Associates play a
particularly key role in school life and competition is fierce for
these positions of responsibility.

We encourage all sixth form students to participate in
enrichment activities that develop personal skills. There is a very
robust Careers education and guidance programme which helps you
prepare for Higher Education and the workplace. The vast majority
of our students move onto University education and we strongly
support them to apply to the best universities in the country.
The Sixth Form is a pre-University style culture with extremely
high expectations and challenges, but equally high rewards at the
end. It probably constitutes the best days of school at Sandringham
for many students.
