Sixth Form: Well-being

Stoke Newington Sixth Form takes great pride in the amount of care and support we offer our students. We know each of them personally and provide them with the academic and pastoral support they need as they make the transition from young people to adulthood.

Every student has an experienced tutor who can offer advice, monitor progress, oversee the university application process and act as a point of contact for parents. Through life skills lessons, often led by expert guest speakers, students take part in topical debates as well as learning about personal health and safety. For students needing additional emotional support we have access to a range of agencies and counselling professionals working in school and externally. Support is provided to ensure that EMA grants are received by qualifying students.

Our induction programme with seminars, study skills sessions and teamworking activities ensures students make a smooth transition into the Sixth Form.

Enrichment is a key part of the Sixth Form. The varied enrichment offer enables students to develop high level independence, skills in serving the community and to experience a wide variety of situations. Students take part in a range of sports, artistic performances and exhibitions, Duke of Edinburgh programmes and Community Sports Leader courses. All these help with applications to universities.

We offer an excellent careers programme and provide innovative events, such as First Date, that aims to stimulate discussion about university and career choices and pathways.

Should parents or carers have concerns about their student they should contact the appropriate tutor or the Director or Deputy of Sixth Form.
