An incredible achievement from our QE Sixth Form Ten Tors teams this weekend! 👏

2 Sixth Form teams successfully completed the 55-mile challenge, showing outstanding resilience, teamwork, determination, and spirit throughout the expedition.

From setting off on day one full of anticipation, to crossing the finish line exhausted but proud, every student demonstrated remarkable commitment and perseverance. We could not be prouder of what they have accomplished.

Ten Tors is just one of the many exciting extracurricular opportunities supported by QE Sixth Form, helping students build confidence, leadership, friendships, and unforgettable experiences beyond the classroom. Apply today to get involved next year!

A huge thank you as well to the staff, supporters, and families who helped make this possible.

Congratulations to all involved — a fantastic achievement! 🏅🥾

Before the Easter break, our Year 12 students took part in a fantastic live Q&A session with Baroness Wilcox of Newport as part of their Politics project.

Students posed thoughtful and engaging questions, demonstrating impressive curiosity and a strong understanding of current political issues. A brilliant opportunity to gain real insight and bring their learning to life!

A fantastic day for our Sixth Form students at Exeter University as we launched the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) — an exciting opportunity to go beyond the classroom. 📚✨

The EPQ allows students to explore a topic they are passionate about, developing independence, research skills, and critical thinking along the way. Worth half an A-level, it’s highly valued by universities and employers alike for the transferable skills it builds.

Students also enjoyed a campus tour, including the university library — a brilliant resource they can access as QE Sixth Formers — giving them a real taste of university life.

An inspiring step towards their future pathways!
