A Sixth Form for Success
After the disruption of the past eighteen months, choosing the right
sixth form to support your child’s success, has never been more
important. If you are considering the next step for your son or
daughter, Sherfield School may have the answer...
Based in Hook, Hampshire, Sherfield
provides an outstanding education for
students who are serious about their sixth
form studies. As a leading co-educational
independent day and boarding school,
they recognise the current challenges
of post-16 education and provide a
stimulating and engaging environment for
students to thrive and flourish.
Sherfield offers a comprehensive range
of A-Level and BTEC courses, which
ensure that every student benefits from
a programme of study that is tailored to
their aptitudes, interests and ambitions.
Sixth form students enjoy small class
sizes, which allow tutorial style teaching
to take place in lessons. Blended
alongside more traditional teaching
methods, tutorials give students the
opportunity to discuss their learning to a
very advanced level. Delivered by a team
of highly experienced professionals who
fully understand the ingredients for top
level grades, students excel at Sherfield
and gain entry to the best universities in
the UK and abroad.
Winners of an ISA 2021 Excellence
Award for Pupil Personal Development,
Sherfield has an extraordinary enrichment
programme which promotes the life-skills
needed for the future, develops “soft
skills” that employers and universities
look for, while also giving pupils the
opportunity to find out more about their
interests and passions. Sixth formers
are encouraged to shape their own
programme of enrichment, whether
this be organising events, studying for
Science Olympiads or completing the
Gold Duke of Edinburgh award.
“The level of support given by my
teachers has been fantastic especially as I
know that others at different schools and
colleges have not been so lucky.”
Year 12 Student.
Transport is available from Winchester,
but the school also offers full, weekly or
flexi boarding options too.
“Boarders will be thrilled – the brand-new,
larch-clad boarding block is the smartest
I’ve seen, with modern, private en-suite
rooms for each pupil. The boarding block
is on two floors, with boys upstairs and
girls down. Each floor has its own wellequipped
common room where girls and
boys can mingle.” Maya Boyd, School
Reviewer, May 2020.
Sherfield encourages a home-from-home
atmosphere so boarders feel part of a
family. In the evenings and at weekends,
there is a varied and fun schedule of trips
and activities organised so boarders can
make the most of school facilities and
the location - set in glorious countryside,
close to London and the coast.
Students are invited to explore life at
Sherfield through a taster day. This is
a brilliant way for prospective students
to see sixth form life in action for
themselves. Coupled with a bespoke
tour and meeting with the Headmaster
and Head of sixth form, parents and
students are able to experience the
beautiful grounds, excellent facilities and
wonderful ethos at Sherfield.
