Welcome to the Sixth Form

Welcome to the Sixth Form at the Folkestone School for Girls...

Year 11 is a time when important decisions are made about your future, and choosing the right educational establishment and courses for Post 16 study is of paramount importance.

At the Folkestone School for Girls we are able to offer you excellent teaching in a wide range of A level courses, with our Sixth Form offer also including some vocational courses. We are proud not only of the high quality care and support which we give so you are able to fulfil your potential in your chosen subjects, but also the support we offer for your all round learning to prepare you for life after Sixth Form.

Over 80% of our students go on to Higher Education each year. They acquire places at institutions throughout the UK and undertake a very wide range of courses. We are dedicated to providing help and support for all post 18 options and strongly encourage and support students to explore the range of options available to them to enable them to make informed decisions for the right option post 18 for them.

Whilst the Sixth Form is about learning, it is also about developing knowledge and skills in a vast range of areas, constructively using the greater freedom with which you are entrusted. Moreover, it is your chance to have a fresh start and develop new interests. There are many enrichment activities within our Sixth Form to support the all-round development of our students, including work experience and voluntary work in the local community.

We appreciate that making choices for the future can be a daunting task, but in the Sixth Form we are here to support you every step of the way, from Sixth Form to Post 18 Options.
