Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form programme prepares our students for a complex and rapidly-changing world, reaching beyond the curriculum to give them the very best start after school. Our aim is to provide each young person with the knowledge, skills and strength of character they need to go on and fulfil their dreams, whatever their goals and wherever they choose to forge their careers.

"There’s a willingness to step beyond ‘traditional’ routes and take a more modern approach to next steps, with BTECs in Business and Sport on offer and many pupils snaffling prestigious degree apprenticeships."

Muddy Stilettos, 2024

Curriculum

Giggleswick provides an enriched and engaging programme that has been developed from what many universities and employers have told us are important qualities to achieve success. With 67% of our A level grades at A*-B we deliver academic success and relevance for the world beyond school. 

Did you know we also offer a selection of BTEC courses for Sixth Form? BTECs tend to suit young people who prefer a more guided learning experience and ongoing assessment throughout the course. BTEC options continue to deliver excellent results for our students’, with our A*-A equivalent results increasing by 9% to 44%, and A*-C equivalent results increasing by 6% to 89%.

Co-curriculum

Just as important in developing your learning is a full and active engagement in the co-curriculum. We expect all our Sixth Form students to participate in active, creative and service enrichment programmes beyond the purely academic curriculum. From sports to music, drama and outdoor pursuits, to service in the local community, our pupils lives are full, enriching and fun.

Careers support

At Giggleswick we recognise that students today have an increasingly wide range of opportunities available to them after their time at school, and the Sixth Form should be all about helping them to prepare to make the most of these. We provide an extensive careers and higher education programme for our Sixth Form which aims to help each pupil find the right opportunity for their needs and abilities. This programme features lectures and tutorials from industry experts, visits to and from universities, work placements, as well as the chance to meet with Giggleswick alumni to hear, and ask questions, about their experiences in the world of work and study.
