Heathfield’s move to a co-educational Sixth Form offers exciting benefits for all students, providing a rich academic and social experience. As one of the leading Sixth Forms in Berkshire, our smaller A Level classes and the broad choice of subjects ensure personalised learning, while the inclusion of both girls and boys brings more diverse perspectives and collaboration across productions, clubs and student leadership. Students will gain invaluable experience in a mixed environment, equipping them with the confidence, skills and resilience to thrive in future co-educational settings.
Alongside their chosen subjects, all Sixth Form students are entered for the Heathfield Leadership Award. Students are assessed on six strands which will develop them as leaders, earning the award with a Pass, Merit or Distinction. These strands will ensure Heathfield Sixth Formers step outside of their comfort zones, mentor younger students and grow in their understanding and practice of leadership; this will be vital life experience but also very helpful for university and job applications.

The benefits of being a boarder for Sixth Form are clear. Boarding encourages independence in both study and other aspects of life and is an excellent bridge between School and University. Staying at school avoids valuable time being wasted on commuting and being disorganised about work at home and thus ensures that students can manage to excel academically without sacrificing other activities and time spent with friends. Day students integrate fully into the life of the Sixth Form and have the opportunity to stay over too.
