Sixth Form
Holistic, Challenging,
Supportive.
The Sixth Form years are the most exciting time of change and development for any young person.
At The Oratory, each pupil receives a highly personalised journey that will enable them to navigate these important years successfully. We pride ourselves on providing a holistic education, not merely focused on preparation for exams, but on preparation for a happy and rewarding life beyond school.
Why Choose Oratory Sixth Form?
At The Oratory, our small community and high teacher-pupil ratio allows us to treat every pupil as an individual, personally known, supported and developed by teachers, tutors, and our Sixth Form team.
"Every individual is known here, and every individual is supported in their particular endeavour. This is a really important point of Oratory Sixth Form. The way that we tailor A Level provision and the way that our A Level pupils are supported is quite remarkable. I think that's the main difference here from any other school that I've worked at previously..."
Dr Moses, Assistant Head (Sixth Form)
Academic Life
Academic Life is at the heart of an Oratory Sixth Form. First and foremost is our commitment to enable every pupil to realise their full academic potential, through the provision of a wide A Level curricular offering, delivered in small classes by inspiring teachers.
When our pupils leave the school as confident young adults, they are equipped not only with a well-rounded education but also a thirst for further learning, a strong moral compass and lifelong friends.
Sixth Form Enrichment
All our Sixth Form pupils benefit from the comprehensive Loquitur Programme, which, through weekly workshops, talks, practical exercises and training, covers subjects such as critical thinking, leadership training, life skills and careers.
There are fantastic leadership opportunities for all Sixth Formers through different prefect, service and sporting roles.

Sixth Form Centre
The Oratory Sixth Form Centre is a physical articulation of our values and vision for Sixth Form, providing pupils with the space and opportunity to grow their academic and extra-curricular interests in readiness for their future.
Thinking About The Future
All our Oratorians leave us ready to go out into the wider world. We provide a structured higher education preparation programme to all pupils as they progress through the school. One-to-one support from tutors and subject specialists throughout a structured Higher Education preparation programme ensures that our pupils apply to courses best suited to their individual strengths and aspirations.
“Our daughter has recently joined the Sixth Form and after just a few weeks has settled in very well, forging a number of friendships and thoroughly enjoying the busy schedule.
The teaching staff and Dr Moses, Assistant Head (Sixth Form), have emphasised a clear focus on helping pupils to think about their future career path, not just focusing on securing grades and a place at University.”
