Head of School's Welcome

Welcome

The Island VI Form welcomes students from all schools and academies across the Island. Our learning facilities are of a standard to rival any national learning institution and the best way to appreciate the atmosphere is to visit us and see the VI Form in action.

Students have access to a wide range of A level and level 3 vocational programmes, alongside extra-curricular activities. Being the largest sixth form provider of A levels on the Island, enables us to have the ability to offer minority subjects, nevertheless, a minimum of six to ten students (depending on the subject) will be required to ensure a course can run.

The Island VI Form is an ideal bridge between school and higher education, or employment and gives students more freedom and responsibility. Students are encouraged to manage their own time and develop the study and work skills needed for university, or the world of work.

We are committed to ensuring teaching and learning is of the highest quality. We have in place a rigorous programme of monitoring to ensure that not only are our students well taught, but that they are supported, through a range of classroom activities, to become active, inquisitive and independent learners. High levels of attendance are also required; over 95%, if students are to maximise their learning opportunities. Personal development is also very important to us and we provide advice and guidance to help students manage their transition from GCSE to A level and greater independence.

Our VI Form is continuing to grow and we hope that you will join us to share in our success.
