Welcome to the AES Sixth Form, we are committed to making every effort to find appropriate and suitable courses for individual students. 

To this end, you will have a choice of the British A-Levels or an opportunity to study the highly acclaimed International Baccalaureate Diploma. 

Most unusually, however, you will also have the opportunity to study selected parts of the IB Diploma with A-Levels.  We also provide applied/vocational courses.

We believe that this gives an unrivalled opening for each student to combine qualifications in a way which best suits their needs.

It also gives students the chance to study subjects in depth whilst retaining a broad and balanced programme.  Year on year the results testify to the success of this programme.

The more you do in the Sixth Form, both from the programmes of study and from the extra curricular activities, the better will be your career prospects.  We will encourage and support you in doing this.  In order to give you a fair start compared to other students elsewhere, you will usually be expected to follow a programme the components of which equate to four and a half A-Levels.  Many students will exceed this number (full IB Diploma students could reach up to the equivalent of 6 A-Levels).

Achieving the best possible examination results will be your goal as it is ours.  However, the International Sixth Form programme is much richer than just the subjects taught.  Extra curricular activities are numerous and in some cases challenging.  You will get more out if you put more in.

Reasons to join the Anglo European International Sixth Form:

  • You will make new friends as our Sixth Form attracts many students from other schools.  If you are already at the School you will find that the tutor groups will be mixed with both internal and external students, and you will associate with people that you did not necessarily know before.
  • This is the only School or College in this area which offers you the chance to study the International Baccalaureate or A-Levels or Applied A-Levels or a mixture of all three.
  • There are excellent study facilities including a newly equipped silent study area supervised by a Study Manager with its own suite of computers.  We also have a study area where students can work collaboratively.
  • We have excellent results, 24% of our students achieved the equivalent of 3½ As at A Level, and an outstanding record for students obtaining University or College places.  Last year for example we had students applying to Bristol, Warwick and UCL to read subjects such as: Law, Economics, Medicine etc.
  • The Sixth Form has an increasingly international flavour and all students are expected to maintain a foreign language study at some level ranging from vocational French through to IBH German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, Japanese or Mandarin.
  • The opportunity exists to participate in Study Visits abroad and Field Study Visits in this country.  Last year for example Sixth Form students were involved in visits to Passau, Alden Biessen, China, Slapton Ley, Devon (Geography), Orielton, Pembrokeshire (Biology).
  • All students have the chance to benefit from an expanding extra-curricular programme where you are given responsibility and can show leadership qualities - Paired Reading, Senior Citizens' Christmas Party, Debating, Sixth Form Prom, Model United Nations Meetings, Concerts, Sports Teams, Duke of Edinburgh Award, First Aid Course.
  • The possibility of joining an expedition to places such as Pakistan, Peru, Namibia, Thailand and Cambodia.
