Gateways offers at least the same number of A Level subjects as any other local independent school and we will usually run a subject even if only a few pupils choose it - now that's a bespoke education! With small classes, there is simply no better preparation for the small group tutorial work expected at University than getting two years experience of it before you go!
HOW TO APPLYInvolvement in a wide range of extra curricular opportunities is offered and encouraged in Sixth Form. Pupils can choose from a wide range of clubs including Amnesty International, the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), the school choir, and various sports clubs . Many of these clubs help pupils to develop interests and skills which may be useful to them for their chosen career. Pupils are encouraged to help lead clubs and to start new ones should they wish.
More information on Community Outreach, Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and other ways in which pupils can develop themselves as individuals can be found under the Enrichment Section.
As well as the sports clubs on offer, a weekly PE session is offered to students as part of their Sixth Form timetable. This involves various activities such as yoga and high intensity workouts.
In addition girls have the chance to play for the Seniors Netball Team should they wish to continue with competitive sport on behalf of the school.
Students are able to take part in a number of cultural and historical visits throughout their two years in Sixth Form. The school runs an annual ski trip and a biannual trip to Krakow, Poland including a visit to Auschwitz. Opportunities further afield include a biannual netball tour to South Africa and an expedition which in recent years has involved visits to Cambodia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Field trips form a part of some courses such as Biology and Geography, covering areas such as the East Coast, Malham and Paris.
