Welcome to Sixth Form

The two years of Sixth Form are the defining years of school life, and at Bridgewater School, our values ensure that these years are as enriching as they are transformative. With the support of small classes and tutor groups, we foster a close-knit, inclusive community where every student feels seen, heard and supported.

This ethos, combined with a focus on academic excellence and personal growth, consistently leads to excellent A Level result and a lasting sense of confidence and purpose for the future.
