Sixth Form Department

Years 12-13 

What makes the Sixth Form at Hethersett Old Hall School so special?

The Sixth Form marks the transition to post compulsory education, and at Hethersett Old Hall School we enable our girls to foster a greater sense of independence and responsibility. Girls have their own spacious common room which provides a welcome area to relax and enjoy each others company during breaks and lunchtimes. Small class sizes allow a special partnership to be forged between girls and their teachers. The combination of relaxed surroundings and friendly working relationships with tutors, results in excellent academic achievements.

A Level Options

The choice of A Levels at Hethersett Old Hall School is extensive and diverse. For example, unlike many Sixth Forms, we allow girls to study all three major art disciplines if they wish; Art, Textiles and Photography. Our modern Art department features state-of-the-art technology, with a fully equipped dark room and specialist Sixth Form study room. We also have particularly strong Science facilities - in 2008, two of our girls went on to study Medicine at Cambridge and St Andrews universities.

Higher Education

In fact the majority of our girls do go on to University. We provide abundant advice, help and support throughout the often difficult task of choosing the right degree course. Our individual approach and attention means we have been successful in helping all our girls gain access to their first choice of university in 2007 and 2008. See Destinations for more information on where 2008 leavers went.

Extra-Curricular Activities

Our Sixth Form girls are expected to take an active role in the school community as a whole.

Our old girls frequently comment on the extra-curricular activities which have given them lasting enjoyable memories of the Sixth Form. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Community Sports Leaders Award, Young Enterprise and the Senior School play at the Norwich Playhouse help develop new talents and are just a few examples of the many opportunities we offer. See Extra-Curricular Activities for more information.
