Sixth Form
We believe that our Sixth form students are amongst the most successful in Cheshire and we acknowledge the responsibility we have in helping them as they set out in the latest stage in their educational development.
Therefore, we firmly believe in giving our young adults access to all that they need to succeed in their future lives. This includes offering the widest variety of courses possible, employing the most committed, expert teaching staff possible and providing exceptional Sixth Form resources.
We passionately believe in the value of outstanding leadership and are committed to challenging our students to develop their own leadership skills to fulfil their own potential and be the very best they can be.
Our young people are expected to embrace a leadership culture and are challenged to show initiative and to participate fully in the life of the whole school at Christleton.
Typically, our students are dynamic, ambitious and determined to achieve excellence in their studies. And, as a consequence, we have a vibrant culture where ‘good is never good enough’ and our sixth form students are therefore strong positive role models for all in the school.
We are pleased to be able to offer:
- A Level results consistently amongst the very best in Cheshire
- The choice of 30 different subjects
- A lively, vibrant atmosphere of approximately 300 students
- Tremendous extra-curricular opportunities
- Continuous careers guidance, events and support, including specialist advice on university applications
With approximately 300 students on roll we are able to provide variety and breadth, in a friendly and supportive environment where students are given every encouragement to reach their full potential, both academically and socially. The majority of our sixth formers go on to Higher Education or apprenticeships and then into highly successful careers in a wide range of occupations.
Around 20% of our sixth formers join us from other schools, adding to the richness of their education and that of our own students.
Aims
We aspire to ensure that all students fulfil their potential in preparation for either Higher Education or a wide range of employment opportunities once they have left Christleton High School.
We strive to support the development of independent learners who are responsible and active both within the whole school and the wider community.
What you should expect from Christleton High School
A significant number of opportunities and activities await prospective Sixth Form students which will broaden their outlook on life and help them become more rounded adults. Christleton High School has an exceptional record of academic results of which we are rightly proud but so many of our students gain success from extra curricular activities.
We regularly welcome a number of students from other schools. The school has a wide range of facilities available for both study and leisure. Students can access study facilities in the iResearch Centre and Sixth Form Study Room.
What do we expect of our Sixth Form Students?
We make no apologies for the high expectations we place on our sixth form students.
All our students must:
- Show a positive attitude to study, and demonstrate a high level of effort and motivation
- Communicate in a mature and respectful manner with both teachers, peers and other students
- Be punctual at all times and strive for 100% attendance
- Meet deadlines and complete all tasks set to a high standard
- Develop into fully rounded individuals who are attractive to universities and prospective employers
- Dress professionally
- Actively involve themselves in the school and wider community
- Balance academic study with their outside interests
- Ensure that any paid employment outside of school does not interfere with their academic progress
