Our Sixth Form 

The Sixth Form is well established with a total of around 380 students studying a wide range of courses. Most students have been in the school since Year 7, although a number do join us from other schools at age 16.

Sixth Form students at King Edward VI School, Lichfield receive excellent pastoral care from a team of experienced tutors. The team of tutors plays a crucial role in monitoring the progress of students, along with encouraging independent learning and student self-review. Each year, well over 100 students leave Year 13 to continue their education at university thanks to their hard work and the support of staff.

The Sixth Form is an opportunity for students to further their knowledge and understanding in subjects already taken, or to broaden their interests and pursue courses in new areas. The majority of subjects will be studied as part of a two-year linear course with end of course examinations. The vast majority of our Sixth Form students will study three subjects across two years. Students need to gain a minimum of 33 points from their best 7 GCSE results which must include English and Maths. In addition they need to meet the individual subject entry. Students wishing to study four subjects may still be able to do so if they have a minimum of 50 points from their best 7 GCSE results, including English and Maths.
