During the Covid lock down, our musicians in Sixth Form composed and performed some amazing pieces which can be listened to - please scroll down and enjoy!

Healthy Lifestyles

As noted above, we are pleased to confirm that our Sixth Formers are able to use all of the facilities at the Spectrum, not only on a Wednesday afternoon which is allocated for sport/games but any other time during the week.  Further details are issued during the induction period.

We aim to have competitive teams in basketball, netball, rugby, and football. Sixth Formers are key members of the Duke of Edinburgh and ski trip groups running throughout the school. Education in lifestyle and personal choices are run in daily tutor time for both Years 12 and 13.

Positions of Leadership and Responsibility

Students are invited to apply for posts as Student Leaders, House Captain, Student Union Officer, Peer Mentor or Subject Ambassador. These roles are key in developing both the students’ personal skills and in facilitating excellent relationships between the different year groups of students and staff, thus creating a vibrant community for learning.
