Why SGGS Sixth Form?
Stratford Girls’ Grammar School, known locally as Shottery, has a longstanding tradition of enabling girls like you to highly achieve at A-level and beyond. So when asked the question of ‘Why should I want to study here?’, our response is ‘Why wouldn’t you?’.
You only have to look at the curriculum we offer, our tradition of excellent A-level results and our students’ destination success to know that we are serious about and committed to helping you to maximise your potential, both academically and personally.
Our enrichment programme is second to none. It not only allows our students to find out about the world beyond SGGS through accessing old girls, politicians and people from industry by way of our Speakers and Careers Programmes, but also provides the experience of day trips and residential visits – locally, nationally and internationally. We also understand the importance of well-being. Our elite sports provision, as well as our general sport and creative carousel will allow you to stay well in mind and body. And, we know that ultimately, it’s more than your academic results that enable you to secure your dream job or university course. Our sixth form offer includes the option for weekly work experience as well as a fully immersive week during the summer term of Year 12. All in all, our offer is specifically designed to meet your every need as an aspirational sixth former.
