Everyone wants to succeed, and at St Albans<br />
School you are supplied with <strong>the</strong> tools and<br />
support to do just that. The high level of staff<br />
expertise across all departments, as well as<br />
<strong>the</strong> choice of subjects available at A Level<br />
certa<strong>in</strong>ly helps. Be<strong>in</strong>g able to choose from a<br />
wide selection means that you can focus on<br />
subjects which truly <strong>in</strong>terest you. This results<br />
<strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>creased work ethic <strong>in</strong> class, and paired<br />
with smaller class sizes, helps nurture a more<br />
positive learn<strong>in</strong>g environment for us all.<br />
Ano<strong>the</strong>r opportunity you are afforded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Lower <strong>Sixth</strong> <strong>Form</strong> is a Friday afternoon activity<br />
of your choice, along with fifty m<strong>in</strong>utes’ worth<br />
of Enrichment each week. These two activities<br />
offer a great break from <strong>the</strong> standard academic<br />
lessons and give you a chance to learn o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
important skills. Examples of activities <strong>in</strong>clude:<br />
sign language, driv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ory, first aid and<br />
public speak<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
St Albans School stands out<br />
for me because it is a very<br />
well-rounded school; one<br />
of <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> factors I took<br />
<strong>in</strong>to consideration when<br />
choos<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sixth</strong> <strong>Form</strong> were<br />
<strong>the</strong> excellent grades <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
subjects that I wanted to take<br />
at A Level. This was <strong>the</strong> ic<strong>in</strong>g<br />
on <strong>the</strong> cake for me and when<br />
I knew I truly wanted to go to<br />
this School.
