Welcome to Sixth Form

Welcome to Sixth Form at St Lawrence College

The Sixth Form at St Lawrence College is where futures are shaped, ambitions grow, and independence flourishes. It is a time of transformation: academically, personally, and socially, as students prepare to step confidently into university, careers, and life beyond school.

We combine high academic ambition with exceptional pastoral care, personal attention, and opportunity-rich experiences to help every student thrive. Whether your aspirations lie with Oxbridge, the creative industries, medicine, or a vocational route, we provide the structure and inspiration to help you succeed.

A Personal Approach

With small class sizes, tailored subject combinations, and expert guidance, every student receives support as an individual. Our teachers take the time to understand each student’s strengths, goals and potential, offering both stretch and support when it is needed most.

Our Sixth Form offers a broad range of A Level subjects and enrichment options, including the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Students enjoy the freedom to shape a curriculum that suits their interests and ambitions, while benefitting from high-quality teaching and mentorship.

A Launchpad for Life

Sixth Formers at St Lawrence College are encouraged to take ownership of their journey – not just as learners, but as leaders, innovators, and compassionate global citizens. Whether captaining teams, leading societies, mentoring younger pupils or designing independent research, they grow in confidence and maturity.

Our outstanding Careers and UCAS programme provides tailored support at every stage. It helps students explore pathways to top universities, competitive apprenticeships, and global opportunities. Just as importantly, we equip them with life skills: resilience, independence, emotional intelligence and leadership.

A Community That Inspires

Our Sixth Form is a vibrant, welcoming and diverse community. Whether day or boarding, UK-based or international, students form deep friendships and lasting memories. They are role models and active contributors to school life – shaping culture, championing causes, and inspiring others.

From drama to debating, sport to service, music to Model UN, our co-curricular offering is second to none. Students are encouraged to push boundaries, try new things, and build the kind of confidence that cannot be taught in a classroom.

Discover What Is Possible

If you are looking for a Sixth Form that combines academic challenge with personal care, inspiring teaching with outstanding opportunities, and a strong sense of belonging, we would be delighted to welcome you.
