Academic Programme

Our standard academic programme includes three A Levels plus an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). The EPQ is a very highly regarded qualification, which is greatly valued by universities and admissions tutors, and is worth half an A Level.

Leadership Programme

Our Sixth Form Leadership Programme focuses on both leadership of self and leadership of others.

King’s High Baccalaureate

“This is a truly unique and exciting opportunity for our students. It will ensure that each Sixth Former, who studies for our Baccalaureate, has a broad, balanced and varied experience, which will not only equip her for university and the workplace, but also be a great deal of fun.”  Dr Stephen Burley, Head Master

We offer a new, unique qualification, accredited by EduQual: the King’s High Baccalaureate. This recognises and develops skills which are highly sought after by universities and future employers.  The Baccalaureate was largely inspired by the breadth and depth of our students’ achievements, and is at the heart of our Sixth Form, sitting alongside our A Level provision.
