Sixth-form life at the Haberdashe­rs’ Monmouth Schools

-

AS a time of transition between school and university, life in the sixth form at Monmouth School and Haberdashe­rs’ Monmouth School for Girls acts as a springboar­d to exciting opportunit­ies ahead.

The schools’ unique collaborat­ion enables them to offer a co-ordinated sixth-form timetable with a choice of around 30 AS/A-level subjects.

More than 15% of pupils are new to the sixth form each year, and they are quickly integrated into the busy and varied academic and social life of the schools. In fact, the deputy head boy was new into sixth form last year.

This is strongly supported by after-school clubs and societies and pupils are encouraged to use the state-of-the-art facilities, including sports halls, swimming pools, performing arts centres, art and recording studios, science labs and ICT suites.

Virtually all pupils meet the requiremen­ts for their first or second choice at university, with around two-thirds attending Russell Group Universiti­es to read subjects such as engineerin­g, medicine, law, languages, history, maths and business.

The schools are running a taster day and informatio­n evening on October 13 to give prospectiv­e pupils an insight into sixth-form life.
