At PAHS Sixth Form, we believe education goes beyond the classroom. That’s why we have planned in protected time for enrichment. All students will take part in our dynamic and evolving character development programme designed to inspire, engage, and excite, whilst broadening their horizons and preparing them for life beyond sixth form.
Students will rotate through a variety of exciting activities of their choice such as sports and fitness, cooking, music, and languages. In addition, this time will be used to host guest speakers, deliver careers and higher education workshops, and support university applications, mock interviews, and work experience preparation. Students will benefit from direct encounters with leading employers and further education providers, offering real-world insights and inspiration. There will also the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Bronze, Silver, or Gold level, as well as to step into leadership roles supporting the lower school.
These enriching experiences will be carefully curated to foster resilience, independence, and confidence, equipping our students with the character and skills to succeed in the future pathway of their choice.
