Our Sixth Form experience provides students with personalised care and attention – helping boys to manage their studies, make informed choices, and ensure these two crucial years are happy and enjoyable. The 26 subjects on offer create both breadth and flexibility for students, with some subjects taught jointly with Wakefield Girls’ High School. Students usually study three A levels, in a relaxed classroom environment facilitated by the small class sizes (typically 8—12), led by staff who are experts in their field.

The ‘Sixth Form Approved Alternative Activity’ gives students the chance to create their own bespoke QED (QEGS Enrichment and Development) to develop their skills and experience i.e. voluntary work, or relevant work experience. Sixth Formers can also get involved in running QED activities, allowing them to share their knowledge and expertise, whilst honing their leadership skills.
Students are encouraged to explore the multitude of possibilities open to them.
Participation in the myriad trips, sports tours and expeditions takes students to different points of the globe, broadening outlooks, developing capabilities and offering experiences of a lifetime.
Academic staff work very closely with students to help them discover the right path for their career journey. Expert 1:1 help is provided through the careers process and to support extensive links to universities, apprenticeship providers, programmes of careers talks and Enrichment Lectures.
Friendships developed during school days at QEGS continue into later life. The Old Savilians’ Club receives tremendous support from all ages, through a calendar of social and sporting events, continuing to promote fellowship amongst Old Savilians.
The strong network of Old Savilians provides many opportunities for work experience, with Old Savilians often returning to school to share their experiences and careers advice with students.
