The Thomas Hardye School - Sixth Form

Sixth Form

The school has the largest integrated sixth form in the United Kingdom which shares teachers, resources and facilities with the 'lower school', but also enjoys many more privileges. It offers a choice of more than 80 courses, which can be studied in a range of combinations. Since 2008 it has also offered students the opportunity to study for the International Baccalaureate (IB). The IB is an internationally recognised qualification which offers access to the world's leading universities. The school has a partnership with local land-based college Kingston Maurward and this is the first of its kind in the UK. The partnership with Kingston Maurward College offers students practical alternatives to traditional A-levels, increasing subject choice while retaining the academic emphasis for higher education and employment.
