Sixth Form

Welcome to the JHGS Sixth Form

Academic excellence alongside an ethos of character and service

Thank you for your interest in the JHGS Sixth Form. We provide exceptional post-16 education to high-achieving boys, offering academic excellence with strong pastoral care, inclusion, character education, leadership opportunities and careers guidance.

Most students progress here from studying their GCSEs at John Hampden, but many others join the Lower 6th from other local schools, settle in quickly and become an integral part of our Sixth Form community.

And the JHGS Sixth Form is a genuine community, with a strong emphasis on friendliness and curiosity, working together, giving back, helping others, mentoring younger students, showing up, taking a lead, being a role model – an ethos of character and service that is more important than ever in a rapidly changing world.

Each day our students strive to Be More: more knowledgeable, more ambitious, more independent, more involved in school and wider society, more resilient, and more compassionate, always kind. These six values are what we mean by our school motto: ‘Quit ye like men’. Anchored in tradition, it is at the same time a vision of a positive masculinity for the future.

The JHGS Sixth Form opens doors. We encourage our students to discover their sincere passions and to get excited about who they could be in the future. We challenge them to try their hardest and become the best versions of themselves – and we support them at every point of that journey.

Students leave us with not only the skills and knowledge to succeed in further education, but also the confidence and self-discipline to take ambitious next steps into the world.

We have tried to set out here everything you need to know – but if you still have questions, we look forward to hearing from you.
