I would like all students currently in Year 10 and 11 to consider the Sixth Form at Great Marlow School as a viable, attractive option for their post-16 education.
Since arriving at Great Marlow School in 2007, I have been impressed with many aspects of the school and, in particular, the sixth form. The quality of teaching by the sixth form subject tutors is of the highest calibre and students often comment on the willingness of their teachers to give extra assistance and guidance. The familiarity of the environment and teaching styles that Great Marlow School Year 11 students enjoy, often forms their decision to pursue a place in the sixth form. In addition, the unique academic relationship that is fostered in Years 12 and 13 and the willingness of staff to ‘Go the extra mile’ are important factors in the success that many of our students experience in their examinations.
The students can now choose from an extensive range of A-level and BTEC courses at Great Marlow School; the Wycombe Partnership Scheme which runs alongside six other local institutions adds variety and choice to our curriculum. The school offers a range of Level 2 BTEC and one year courses, which allow students, who do not meet the A-level entry criteria, to achieve success. In addition, we cater for students of all abilities by offering a curriculum comprising of a mixture of A-level and BTEC courses. Furthermore, Great Marlow is the only institute in the area to offer the Cache Diploma in Child Care. All sixth form
students are encouraged to partake in many aspects of school life: physical, social and life skills are a key part of their learning.
The new sixth form centre boasts a state-of-the -art learning environment exclusively for KS5 students. The facilities include a spacious communal area combining social seating and work desks, wi-fi, and portals to plug in lap tops. The mezzanine area has further study desks and 18 fixed PCs. There is a cafe serving a selection of food throughout the day and a silent study room to allow students to focus on their work without interruption.
I am proud of the students who attend the sixth form at Great Marlow School and encouraged by the maturity, confidence and friendliness that I encounter on a daily basis. It is important to remind all students who choose to attend the sixth form that they must be self-motivated, independent learners with a positive attitude towards their education in order to succeed.
I invite all students who attend to gather as much information as they can about the options available to them at
this school. It is
important that a considered choice is made; with luck, you will find what you are looking for at Great Marlow School Sixth Form.
Mr O Hollyman- Head of Sixth Form
