Welcome to Kevi Sixth. The home of Post-16 study at King Edward VI High School.
Sixth Form at King Edward VI High School is an opportunity for you to continue your studies in a demanding, challenging and rewarding environment.
Our vibrant Sixth Form enables students to reach their potential and make informed choices about their future.
About the Sixth Form
King Edward VI is part of the Stafford Sixth Form Partnership. The goal is to maximise opportunities for all students to have access to the broadest possible curriculum choices.
Programmes of study are tailored to the needs of each student. Some will follow an A Level programme throughout Year 12 and Year 13, whilst others may opt for a mixture of A Level and BTEC qualifications.
We aim to help each student who commits to the Sixth Form to develop in confidence. All students in Key Stage 5 have a personal tutor assigned to them. This is the person who supports them most through the Sixth Form.
Although they follow a common partnership timetable, there are still identified times during the week when personal tutors are available to see students, to meet and discuss progress and any issues concerning them. They will also be the main person who will guide them through the UCAS application process if they choose to go to University.
One of the most important skills that we hope to develop in our Sixth Formers is their ability to become independent learners. There will be periods of private study on the timetable. Most students will spend private study time in the Common Room.
There is a great deal of work to do during this time, but in many cases, it will be left to students to manage their time effectively, both in school and at home, and meet all deadlines set for assignments.
Sixth Form is a great opportunity for you to learn and progress in a familiar setting, with the teachers you know and trust, to help you succeed and move on to the next chapter in your life.
