Surbiton High School Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form is a vibrant environment offering a wealth of opportunities for all. While A-levels form the foundations for future study, the heart of our Sixth Form is completed by the wide and diverse co-curricular programme, which allows all students to broaden their interests and skills supported by outstanding careers provision. 

We are a School that helps each student find their niche, and supports everyone to achieve their best; and while our academic results are outstanding, our focus is on supporting all students to reach their potential within their chosen field.

Our dedicated team of teachers and support staff will work with you to create a tailored learning experience, and the Sixth Form Team will guide and support you as you navigate through the two years of your A-levels.

Technology

Each student is given their own iPad provided by the School. Your iPad will quickly become a valuable resource for you – scheduling workloads, keeping track of homework, accessing lesson notes, and creating and working on projects. As an Apple Distinguished School, the use of technology is ingrained in our daily life here at Surbiton High School, and we strive to use it to your benefit to help with organisation and seek time-saving opportunities.
