We work closely with Sherborne Girls. Subjects offered at one school but not another are available at both schools.
*These subjects are taught at Sherborne Girls
All the subjects in Block 1-4 are available at both AS and A levels with the exception of Italian which is only available at A level.
In addition all Sixth Formers will be encouraged to complete an Extended Project in a topic of their choice. This will be supported by a critical thinking course that is taught during the Lower Sixth. Upper Sixth Formers follow a Personal Development course that includes the study of Current Affairs, Ethics, Literature and Science & Society.
