Sixth Form College
The Gryphon School has a sixth form college which consists of years 12 and 13. The sixth form students have the opportunity to take AS and A2 level courses in a wide variety of subjects. As not being part of the "compulsory" education students make use of many perks such as a dedicated common room in the centre of the school, adjacent to the Gryphon Café and close to the Learning Resource Centre with its own Sixth Form only provision, notably an alternative mezzanine for Sixth Formers. Other perks include access to the school canteen over students enrolled on a compulsory basis.
Sixth form students can also gain "Student Transport Cards" from Somerset County Council to reduce the cost of the "Yeovil Bus".

Famous quotes containing the words sixth, form and/or college:
“The real dividing line between early childhood and middle childhood is not between the fifth year and the sixth year—it is more nearly when children are about seven or eight, moving on toward nine. Building the barrier at six has no psychological basis. It has come about only from the historic-economic-political fact that the age of six is when we provide schools for all.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“In the county there are thirty-seven churches
and no butcher shop. This could be taken
as a matter of all form and no content.”
—Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
“Mrs. Pilletti: This girl is a college graduate.
Catherine: They’re the worst. College girls are one step from the street, I tell you.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
