Why St Gabriel's Sixth Form
Two Big Years….the start of a journey that could take you anywhere
St Gabriel’s Sixth Form is a distinct community. One that provides you with the space, skills and knowledge for life beyond our walls, enabling you to leave us confident and excited to discover where your next adventure will take you.
Academic standards are high. The cornerstone of this success is finding the right balance between your academic studies and time away from the classroom. This perfect equilibrium will look different for everyone, which is why we offer an extensive range of opportunities to support your personal development as well as your academic studies.
We are on an exciting journey to becoming a fully co-educational school and as part of this evolution we welcomed boys into the Sixth Form in September 2024. Having a co-educational Sixth Form not only broadens and enriches the diversity of our Sixth Form but also the whole school, with our sixth formers acting as important role models for the younger members of our community.
Our co-educational provision has now reached the Sixth Form. We continue to prepare individuals for the world beyond school and are incredibly proud of the experience they have in these Two Big Years.

St Gabriel's is responsible for instilling in me the belief that absolutely anything is possible if you work hard: at no point in my seven years at the school was I told anything I wanted to do was too ambitious. Be it getting into Cambridge, working for a Formula 1 team, taking a clarinet diploma and grade 8 piano on the same day, I wasn't once met with any suggestion that it would be too difficult or that I wouldn't achieve my goals. It is that endless support that has given me the can-do attitude that carries me so well today.
