Every opportunity
to be successful
Sports
Enrichment
There is a variety of sports clubs to get involved
with whilst you’re studying at The Weald Sixth Form.
You can join our successful rugby club, consider
becoming part of our equally competitive football
team, or you can make friends outside of your
lessons whilst training with the netball team. If you
feel there is something missing, the Sixth Form Team
is always happy to support students who want to
establish a new club or sports team.
Enrichment projects at The Weald Sixth Form are
equally as popular as sport. As well as the Duke of
Edinburgh Award, students can also become part
of our Green Power Car Project which regularly
races in national and international competitions at
Goodwood race track. As part of a year long project,
every summer The Weald Sixth Form runs a trip to
Kenya. The purpose of the trip is to primarily support
education in Kenya by building new classrooms
for local schools, but our students also have a
life-changing experience by being exposed to new
cultures and challenges. The trip typically lasts for
three weeks with 40 – 50 students taking part.
We also give every Year 12 student the opportunity
to undertake a week of work experience. Through
all of these super-curricular opportunities our
aim is to develop important character traits such
as collaboration, resilience, responsibility and
engagement. We believe that Sixth Form should be
about so much more than academic study alone.
Paid Tutoring
Students in Years 12 and 13 have the opportunity to
undertake weekly paid tutoring positions for lower
school pupils. Arranged by subject areas, these roles
not only benefit our younger students academically,
but provide Sixth Form students with vital work
experience and a chance to be a valued role model
within the wider school community.
“I love the opportunities we get to
work with younger students - it’s great
fun and really rewarding to support
them with different aspects of their
work.”
