The Houses
Lower Sixth

Sixth Formers play a vital role in the school, both in setting standards and in providing leadership.  They welcome the opportunity to come together as a year group, after having spent some years in separate houses lower down the school.

To facilitate study and to ease transition to university, many Sixth Formers board, either continuing their experience from the lower and middle school or opting to board if previously a day girl. The Lower Sixth boarders are currently accommodated in four houses, each with its own resident members of staff.  Day girls have modern study bases in 'Bridge' and have access to the internet, lockable cupboards and mini-kitchens for refreshments.  The girls come together at break times in the Sixth Form Centre, nick-named 'The Pizza Hut' due to its distinctive shape!
