Key Stage 5 (Sixth Form)

Academic success is at the forefront of our thinking and Ofsted has recognised the achievements of our Sixth Form students in every regard. 

“We believe that a young person’s time in the classroom provides only a part of their learning at school and when you join Oxted Sixth Form you will have numerous opportunities to take on roles of responsibility, develop your wider skills, act as a role model within the school community and, just as importantly, enjoy your time with us. Our Sixth Form team is dedicated to ensuring that you get the best opportunities to prepare you for the world beyond school. To us this means both academic preparation to ensure you get the highest possible grades and also the acquisition and development of the skills you will need to succeed in life – such as independence, teamwork and resilience. We do hope that you choose to study here at Oxted School and look forward to welcoming you.”

Mrs Dove, Head of Sixth Form

The current Sixth Form Course Guide offers 39 courses at Level 3, consisting of 30 A-level courses and 9 vocational BTEC courses.  In Year 12 students study three Level 3 subjects and may combine A–levels and vocational BTEC subjects.  Students may study for four subjects if they wish but only after consultation with the Sixth Form Team.  Moreover, the expectation would be that the student will maintain a four A-level / BTEC Level 3 program of study over their entire two years in the Sixth Form. 

It is our expectation that all students beginning a course in September 2021 plan to study the full two year programme and therefore students will not be entered for AS examinations at the end of Year 12. 

Year 12 students have the option to undertake the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) alongside their programme of Level 3 subjects.
