and achievement as a whole Sixth Form
Strong community ethos – high expectations
Wide curriculum offer (24 different A level choices)
Individual focus – supporting independent skills and ensuring we
broaden and deepen knowledge
We ensure that students achieve strong grades at AS to support
their A2 year
All subjects in the Sixth Form either meet or exceed target grades.
Working in Partnership
Teddington School, Hampton High and Waldegrave School Sixth Forms are working together to ensure students have a wide curriculum offer
Students are able to study one subject at either Hampton High or Waldegrave School and still remain and study the bulk of their learning at Teddington School Sixth Form.
This can help with subject combinations.
It can also help give students experience of an alternative learning environment which is good preparation for future development.
