Year 13

Just as no two students are the same or learn in the same way, at Oakham we believe in the importance of offering different pathways for post-16 study, so that all our students can reach their potential and are well-prepared for life beyond School.Upper School (Sixth Form) students choose one of two academic pathways; they study stand-alone qualifications from a choice of A-levels and BTECs, or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). The step up to Sixth Form is exciting, challenging, and transformative. At Oakham, we give you the freedom to explore your interests and the support to achieve your ambitions. These two years are about more than just exams – they’re about becoming the best version of yourself, ready for life beyond school. At Oakham Sixth Form, you are at the heart everything we do. It’s your journey, you are the driver, guided by our expert teaching, exceptional care, and endless opportunities beyond the classroom, providing the framework for you to thrive. Our award-winning Careers & Progression programme prepares you for top universities, apprenticeships, and global opportunities.

The assessment consists of an online CAT4 reasoning test in addition to written papers in Maths and English (or an English as an Additional Language (EAL) paper for pupils whose first language is not English).
