What is the academic approach in Oundle’s Sixth Form?

Oundle’s Sixth Form offers a rich combination of choice, independence and academic depth. Pupils shape their own paths through a broad and flexible curriculum, supported by expert teaching, exceptional facilities and a culture that values intellectual curiosity. It is a time for exploring your academic passions, preparing for university and life beyond and developing the confidence to think, lead and contribute.

The Sixth Form programme is highly individualised. Pupils typically begin with four principal A Level subjects and an extension option, with the flexibility to continue with three or four subjects in the Upper Sixth. This structure enables pupils to pursue subject combinations that reflect both their interests and academic strengths. Designed to challenge and inspire, the curriculum equips pupils with the skills to think critically and creatively, qualities highly regarded by leading universities.
