The richness of the opportunities open to Sixth Formers really should be seen to be fully appreciated. They cover music, sports, events, trips, visits, plays, reviews, exhibitions and much else. Games in fact are part of the education provided as they are throughout the School; there is a greater choice of activity than in the Middle School and a menu of badminton, cricket, hockey, rugby, soccer, squash, swimming and tennis satisfies most tastes. Nonetheless, small groups of students have arranged, for example, to play golf, to dance, go climbing or form a netball team. Sixth Formers are likely to be the leading players in the School orchestras and chamber groups with opportunities to play solos. As well as the whole School play each year in which Sixth Formers take a key part, there is also a smaller Sixth Form production. Again specifically for the Sixth Form, there is a Debating Society, a series of lectures, a ball and other social events. There is the Young Enterprise scheme and many in their final year will exercise leadership skills as Prefects, subject monitors, form guardians or, just as importantly, merely by their presence and activity around the school, acting as role models for younger pupils.

One 6th Form girl as well as studying for A Levels in Art, English and Music and AS-level in Performing Arts in the Lower Sixth, was production director then managing director of a company making Christmas cards in the Young  Enterprise scheme, played the oboe in the School Orchestra, represented her tutor group on the Abbey house Committee, was a Team Leader with duties looking after a team of prefects, and performed in plays as well, all the while retaining her sanity.

"I like to see the personalities blossoming. I also want to move them on, for each year to do something not done previously and to leave its mark on the community. While academic achievement remains our prime concern, it is marvellous to see so much else being taken on in such a wide variety of fields. This is a time in these young peoples' lives when they need to be able to try new things, have new ideas and take the occasional risk with the way they run their lives secure in the knowledge that between school and home we can help pick up the pieces if anything goes wrong. and enable each individual to learn a little more about him or herself in the process. It is an exciting and exhilarating time for us all".
