Allerton Grange High School

SIXTH FORM AT ALLERTON GRANGE.

Welcome

There couldn't be a better time for joining the Allerton Grange Sixth Form – in September 2009 we moved into a brand new building with state-of-the-art facilities, and we’d love you to join us there. We are a large, progressive Sixth Form, which means that we can offer you an extremely wide range of courses to choose from, and our inclusive policy of entry means that all our students have equal status, whichever course they are taking.

To join us in this impressive building is one reason to be here but the main reason for choosing a Sixth Form is to gain high academic grades and achieve the very best you can – and we’re confident we can help you do it. Allerton Grange Sixth Form is justifiably proud of its performance and continuing high value-added rating; our success is due to the talented and specialist teachers in the school and the hard work of our students. We have notable success every year with individual students excelling themselves. In 2011 we were thrilled with our results which show that we are now in the top 10% of all sixth forms in the country in terms of 'value added'. This means that our students can access the best courses at university. For example, we are very proud to have students from Allerton Grange Sixth form studying at Oxford and Cambridge as well as local universities and many others further afield. They are studying a huge range of subjects including medicine and law, pharmacy and history, English and philosophy, accountancy and business.

While you are in the Sixth Form, you will be treated as a young adult and given the rights and responsibilities associated with your status. You will be valued as a person, with your own individual needs being taken into account.

You will be encouraged to make careful decisions about your own development and future, and also to contribute to the life of the Sixth Form and the wider community. We will expect you to behave in a mature way and we continually stress the responsibility that Sixth Form students have as role models for the younger students within the school.

This is a very supportive Sixth Form and we will do everything we can to ensure that you are successful. Your studies will be matched to your ability as far as possible; we are able to do this because the curriculum and courses we offer are quite flexible.

If you do decide to study at Allerton Grange School, you’ll have made a wise choice. Contribute to life in the sixth form and enjoy it to the maximum. Students come to us from our school and from many others so if you would like to make a fresh start you are going to find a warm welcome from both the staff and other students. These are the best years of your school life and will set you up for a successful future.
