Most girls at More House will study four subjects to AS level, reducing to three to A2 level, all from the following list:

* no previous study of the subject is required

We give serious and regular consideration to our range of Advanced Level subjects. However, we do not offer subjects bordering on the vocational, such as Psychology, Law, Media Studies or Sociology; these are not needed for university degrees in these subjects.

The Wider Curriculum

There are computing sessions for all VIth Formers. The course follows the European Computer Driving Licence, a widely respected qualification that, though skills based, does not ignore the wider implications of computers and their use.

There are usually Physical Education sessions for both Lower and Upper VIth. Their curriculum is designed to allow the girls to play team games if they wish, or to widen their sporting experience through individual or small group participation. Members of the VIth Form also have the opportunity to help coach some of the School's teams in the main sports of netball, hockey, tennis and rounders. Through the House system they can also become involved in motivating and organising the younger girls. There is a wide range of extra-curricular activities which happen at lunchtime and after school and members of the VIth Form are actively encouraged to take part in these. There is also an 'active leadership' programme for VIth Form which includes the mentoring of younger pupils, organisation of the School's charitable events, and helping with extra-curricular events.

While the business of A Level study and university admissions continues, the VIth Form Religious Studies Course allows our girls to stand back from immediate concerns and think more deeply about the world in which they live. The course is a series of individual explorations from different starting points that may, it is hoped, add up to a whole that will lead them to consider their lives as a spiritual as well as a material business. Within the course the aim is always to encourage thought, discussion and growth.

Higher Education

The School is proud of its record in relation to applications to Higher Education. Our Upper VIth Formers usually secure a place at their first choice of institution and attend some of the best universities in the country. Advice on Higher Education choices is the overall responsibility of the Head of VIth Form. Decisions about career paths and applications will largely be made by pupils and parents following discussions with the VIth Form Academic Tutors, and the subject teachers. Professional Careers advice is also available if needed as well as consultation with the Headmaster and members of his Senior Team.

There is a systematic programme towards application which starts in the Lower VIth and runs throughout the rest of the VIth Form. VIth Formers are encouraged to seek advice, visit institutions, examine prospectuses and other sources of information in order that they may submit an application in the first term of the Upper VIth.

Practice interviews are provided for those who require them and special arrangements are also in place to support applications to Oxford and Cambridge.

Much of the responsibility for preparing a successful application is rightly put on the VIth Formers themselves, although there is of course a full range of help and guidance to support the girls, particularly in relation to the completion of the range of application forms they may find themselves facing.
