It is time to shape what comes next.
MOVING FORWARD
A carefully planned programme of careers education, information and guidance by our Futures Department equips students with the skills and self-awareness to progress confidently and play a rewarding role in wider society.
Our Futures curriculum is aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks and supported by Unifrog for high-quality, impartial guidance. Through one-to-one support, workshops, visiting speakers, university visits and real-world encounters, you will gain a clear understanding of your strengths, interests and potential pathways.
You can also benefit from a weekly Speaker Programme, ‘Working Lunch’ talks by alumnae and professionals, our biennial Inspiring Women Conference and Careers Fair, and work experience.
HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPORT

Our expert, impartial advice will help you make informed and confident decisions about the future.
UNIVERSITY APPLICATIONS
Our students progress to a diverse range of destinations, such as Oxbridge and Russell Group universities, Ivy League institutions, European universities and specialist colleges. In 2025, 87% of pupils were offered places at their first choice of university and 100% received either their first or second choice.
UK Applications
From choosing the right courses and universities to crafting personal statements and navigating UCAS, you will receive individual mentoring alongside structured workshops and resources. This ensures clarity, conviction and a strong, authentic application.
Competitive Applications
For highly competitive universities and courses such as Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial, we provide extensive and targeted preparation led by our Head of Academic Enrichment. It includes support with entrance exams, interviews, portfolios and subject-specific preparation, as well as developing a compelling academic and personal narrative.
Weekly Critical Thinking sessions in the Spring Term of the Lower Sixth challenge students to explore their subjects deeply and articulate ideas clearly.
“In the Sixth Form, there are so many different opportunities... they prepare you for that next stage of life really well.“
