Why Choose MGGS Sixth Form?

Shaping Minds. Developing Leaders. Securing Futures.

Sixth Form is about more than choosing your A Levels. It is a chance to explore the subjects that interest you, become more independent, take on new challenges and start shaping what comes next.

At MGGS, you will join an ambitious and supportive Sixth Form where you will be challenged to achieve highliy, encouraged to a make a difference and supported to pursue an exciting future.

Shaping Minds

Think deeper. Aim higher.

At MGGS, you will be taught by experienced subject specialists who will challenge you to think independently, question ideas and achieve your best.

Our broad A Level curriculum gives you the flexibility to build a programme around your strengths and ambitions. Beyond your A Levels, our Sixth Form Extra (6FX) programme offers opportunities to gain additional qualifications and explore new interests.

Learning also extends well beyond the classroom. University programmes, academic lectures, competitions, visits and other super-curricular opportunities allow you to explore subjects in greater depth, discover new interests and experience what further study could be like.

We are proud of our students’ excellent results – and of the progress they make to achieve them.

Developing Leaders

Find your voice. Make a difference.

Sixth Form brings greater freedom and independence. We treat our students as young adults, giving you more responsibility for your choices, your time and the contribution you make to our community.

There are opportunities to lead throughout MGGS. You could become a Head Student, House Leader, Subject Prefect, mentor, Diversity Ambassador, Year 7 Form Assistant or AV Technician, complete your Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, or help lead major school events and projects.

Leadership isn’t just about having a title. It might mean speaking to hundreds of people, mentoring one younger student, organising an event, championing something you care about or making things happen behind the scenes.

You will be trusted to take on real responsibility and encouraged to make a genuine difference.

Securing Futures

Discover where you could go next.

There is no single definition of success after MGGS. University, degree apprenticeships, employment and other pathways can all lead to exciting futures.

We will help you explore your options and find an ambitious destination that is right for you.

You will have access to specialist careers guidance, university and employer encounters, workplace experiences, visits, application support and interview preparation. Students considering highly competitive universities and courses receive additional guidance, while those pursuing apprenticeships and employment are supported to identify and compete for excellent opportunities.

We want you to leave MGGS with more than excellent qualifications: with a clear sense of where you want to go and the confidence, skills and independence to get there.

A Community in Which You Can Thrive

Independence with support when you need it.

MGGS Sixth Form has its own identity within the wider school. You will have greater independence, dedicated Sixth Form spaces and more freedom to manage your own time – while still having the support of staff who get to know you as an individual.

Students who join us from other schools regularly tell us how quickly they feel part of the community. Every year, new students bring different experiences, perspectives and friendships that help shape our Sixth Form.

Our dedicated Sixth Form team provides academic and pastoral support throughout Years 12 and 13, alongside a Key Stage 5 Learning Mentor, specialist careers guidance, counselling and SEND support.

Whether you have been at MGGS since Year 7 or join us for Sixth Form, we want this to feel like your Sixth Form: somewhere you can be yourself, challenge yourself, make a contribution and prepare for whatever comes next.
