Welcome to the Sixth Form (Key Stage 5) at IBSB. We are excited to have you here and hope that your next two years will be stimulating, rewarding and enjoyable. During this time, you will begin building strong foundations for your future life, both at university and beyond.
Life in the Sixth Form has a distinct rhythm. As a Sixth Former, you gain new privileges, more opportunities and greater responsibility. The environment feels more ‘adult’, and you are encouraged to grow in independence and take ownership of your studies.
Two of the best aspects of Sixth Form life are the increased responsibility given to students and the different dynamic in the classroom. Class sizes are small, which allows teachers to offer more individual support. As the course continues, they have more one-to-one time with you, helping them identify what you need to focus on before your AS and A Level exams. Because of this, building a strong partnership with your tutor and teachers is essential. They want to support you, so if you face challenges along the way, it’s important to talk to someone.
Learning takes place both in and outside the classroom.
Learning happens both inside and outside the classroom. Your success at IGCSE level shows that you are prepared for the challenges ahead. You have much to gain from life in the Sixth Form, and also much to contribute. We look forward to following your progress and supporting you at every step. We hope you find the Sixth Form a friendly and welcoming place where you can grow with confidence and continue to shape your future.
