FUTURES
Where to next? Whatever you plan to do and wherever you plan to go, we’ll prepare you for life beyond school.
CARVE YOUR FUTURE
Our Futures Department will help give you the skills, knowledge, and experiences needed to succeed in higher education and at work.
Get to meet professionals from a wide range of industries at our biennial Futures Fair. Learn about different careers from guest speakers in the Sixth Form lecture series. Find out how to budget sensibly, write a CV that gets you noticed or nail an interview in the Futures curriculum within The Life Programme. You’ll also have the chance to gain firsthand experience of different professions through visits to leading firms like BNP Paribas and EY.
HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPORT
Whether you’re choosing a university course, degree apprenticeship, drama or art school, or taking a gap year, we can give you all the advice you need.
UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS
UK APPLICATIONS
Support begins in Lower Sixth with career exploration sessions and introducing the Unifrog platform. Our annual Higher Education Evening in March launches the higher education journey to students and parents with specialist breakout sessions for STEM applications, (including Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Sciences), overseas applications, drama and art school applications and Oxbridge applications.
COMPETITIVE APPLICATIONS
Thinking of applying to Oxbridge or Imperial College London? We provide extensive preparation, including subject-specific mentoring, preparation for admissions tests and interview practice through collaborative sessions with boys’ schools such as Wetherby Senior and Westminster. Weekly Critical Thinking sessions in the Spring Term of the Lower Sixth will challenge you to explore your subjects deeply.
MEDICINE, DENTISTRY AND VETERINARY SCIENCE APPLICATIONS
We have a dedicated member of the Sixth Form team in charge of applications for the above courses and also run a weekly MedSoc for students considering Medicine.
If applying for Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science, you’ll receive bespoke guidance on how to write a strong personal statement, how to prepare for the UCAT, exploring ethical dilemmas and we’ll also help you find a suitable work experience placement.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICATIONS
We have a dedicated member of the Sixth Form team in charge of international applications to provide a structured programme of support for students considering applications to universities overseas. This includes early identification for scholarship opportunities in the US, an introduction to the concept of the Early and Regular Decision routes, as well as visa requirements and financial aid where necessary.
“In the Sixth Form, there are so many different opportunities… they prepare you for that next stage of life really well.”
