The aim at Wirral Grammar School is for every Sixth Form Student to achieve to the best of their abilities. As with most areas of life, opportunity brings with it responibility, and your place in the Sixth Form is conditional upon you making satisfactory progress, complying with the rules and respecting the needs of other students. Smart business dress is part of the ethos of the Sixth Form and central to the creation of a professional atmosphere.
Our focus in recent years has been on identifying student potential and then tracking student progress carefully to ensure that whenever possible, ambitions and potential are realised.
OFSTED March 2006
Procedures for target setting, review and academic guidance are very well developed and their use is a major factor in students' achievements. We also value students as individuals and although we see academic performance as central, there is a wealth of extra-curricular activity to develop the individual.
Many students are attracted to our Sixth Form because of the excellent performance of our students at A level but Sixth Form is not just about A level results and the need to add value. Students also need time to be challenged in other ways, to grow spiritually, to make friends and be able to consider wider social issues in a sensible and mature way.
A Wirral Grammar School student should be educated in a way that leaves him with many laudable and lasting qualities.
Mr M G Askew
Head of Sixth Form
" The Sixth Form is outstanding. Standards are among the highest found nationally and the sixth form attracts most students fom the main school, as well as a proportion from other establishments. Students are offered a wide range of general certificate of education advanced-level (GCE A-level) subjects and most proceed to higher education. Students' personal development is highly effective. They are well cared for and close, productive relations with teachers help to ensure that students leave the sixth form as well balanced, mature and industrious individuals. "
