These opportunities foster intellectual curiosity, critical thinking and presentation skills that are highly valued by universities and employers alike.
Students are supported by expert teaching, specialist guidance and strong partnerships with leading educational institutions, providing opportunities for personal growth, academic development and future success.
Whether pursuing competitive university applications, developing career-related skills or exploring a passion beyond the classroom, every student is encouraged to extend herself academically.
Together, these programmes create a stimulating and enriching Sixth Form experience that equips Roedean students to thrive in higher education and beyond.
Embedded within the Sixth Form curriculum, the Lawrence Programme gives students the opportunity to gain qualifications in areas such as Lifeguarding, Self Defence, Youth Mental Health First Aid and AI, equipping them with practical skills, confidence and experiences that extend far beyond the classroom.
Each year, students beginning Year 12 are given the opportunity to undertake an EPQ (Extended Project Qualification). The EPQ enables students to follow their passions to research an area of personal interest. The course involves approximately 120 hours of work, including 30 hours of taught skills (which are included within the timetable) and 90 hours spent completing a project – a piece of coursework that will be assessed internally. The EPQ is worth up to 28 UCAS points and enables students to strengthen their university applications.
Every girl in Year 12 can participate in the Academic Mentoring Project, which involves intensive research into a topic and developing presentation skills. An external specialist visits us to work with the girls on engaging their audience which is always an enjoyable session. The sheer diversity of the girls’ chosen topics is constantly fascinating.
At the core of the Sixth Form experience at Roedean is our Pathways Programme, designed to broaden our SIxth Formers knowledge and understanding beyond the curriculum. Each of the Pathways is tailored to our students interests, offering an engaging and career-relevant approach to skill development. These bespoke programmes complement A Level choices, ensuring a stimulating and enriching educational journey.
