Welcome to Sixth Form
Our Sixth Form represents a new phase of independence and is ideal preparation for university, adulthood and everything else that awaits.
The Sixth Form is characterised by ambitious, motivated students who are ready for independent study. With a reputation for outstanding A-level outcomes, we have an impressive track record that sees our students progress to their chosen university course or destination.
Students choose to take between three and five A-levels. They benefit from expert teaching in small groups and our state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre provides a modern base for study.
We encourage our students to undertake the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in Junior Sixth. This is a self-directed and self-motivated study based on an area of personal interest. Universities actively look for students who have undertaken an EPQ as it demonstrates independent research skills and originality of thought.
Extra-curricular opportunities in Sixth Form are diverse and include the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, Doctors, Dentists and Vets Club, PhilSoc and Model United Nations. Students can also try their hand at life drawing or become involved in editing the school magazine, Onward.
On A-level Results Day 2022, former student, Hannah, shared her thoughts on what the best thing about being a Manchester High Sixth Former is:
"As Director of Sixth Form at Manchester High, my aim is that every student fulfils their potential. That means aiming high academically, but that also means leaving the School as a confident, compassionate young person, who is a multi-faceted individual.
"Students can take advantage of our extensive enrichment and extra-curricular programmes, leadership opportunities that we offer and the Higher Education programme, which prepares our students for life at the top-ranked universities, medical schools, art colleges or degree apprenticeships." - Mr Robert Crumpton, Director of Sixth Form Studies.
