Sixth Form
Inspiring futures. Exceptional opportunities. Outstanding outcomes.
Welcome to Priory Sixth, the Sixth Form at St Augustine’s Priory, where ambition meets opportunity in a vibrant, supportive and empowering community. Whether you are continuing from our own Year 11 or joining us from another school, our Sixth Form offers a transformative experience. Here, students do not just prepare for A Levels, they prepare for life.
With outstanding teaching, tailored support, and a culture rooted in kindness and confidence, girls are equipped to achieve academic excellence while growing into the independent, compassionate, capable and resilient leaders of tomorrow.
A Sixth Form Experience Like No Other
Our dedicated Sixth Form is more than just a place to study; it is a dynamic hub of innovation, growth, and connection. Small class sizes and close-knit staff-student relationships ensure every student is known, valued, and supported to thrive both academically and personally.
Our exceptional results reflect the passion and purpose that define life at Priory Sixth – students are stretched, nurtured, and empowered to pursue their own paths with confidence.
Challenge, Choice, Community
Students benefit from an extensive A Level curriculum taught by expert subject specialists, combined with a rich co-curricular programme that includes leadership roles, volunteering opportunities, clubs, mentoring (including our popular Big Sister, Little Sister programme), and student-led initiatives. Through the Preparing Your Future course and our bespoke careers and higher education guidance, girls gain real-world skills, build global awareness, and prepare for university and beyond.
Leadership, Resilience and Future Ready
Leadership is at the heart of the Priory Sixth experience. Our students are encouraged to step forward, take initiative and make a meaningful impact across the school community. From applying to be part of the Priory Sixth Leadership Team to organising events, mentoring, or leading committees and assemblies, students have a wealth of opportunities to grow as confident, decisive leaders. These roles not only develop communication, collaboration and decision-making skills but also foster a deep sense of responsibility and service; qualities that prepare our Sixth Formers for university, the workplace and life beyond school.
A Global, Values-Driven Outlook
Guided by our Catholic ethos, students are encouraged to live out the values of compassion, justice and service. From social justice projects to travel scholarships and international volunteering, girls leave with not only exceptional qualifications but a deeper understanding of the world – and their role within it.
“I feel confident that by the time we apply for university and future careers, we do not just have the credentials and capabilities required, but we also have become diligent, compassionate and intrepid young women.”
— Rachel Hiney, former Priory Sixth student
One of the greatest advantages of studying in the Sixth Form at St Augustine’s Priory is the exceptional support made possible by our small class sizes. With fewer students in each lesson, teachers can tailor their guidance to every individual, ensuring deep subject understanding and strong academic progress. This personalised approach extends beyond the classroom, with outstanding one-to-one support for university applications, careers planning and personal development. Whether applying to top UK universities, pursuing courses abroad, or exploring alternative pathways, each student benefits from dedicated, expert advice - helping them make confident, informed choices about their future.
