Entry at 16+ (Sixth Form)

The Sixth Form at Sevenoaks is large, cosmopolitan, and exciting, comprising over 400 students from more than 50 countries around the world. All of our Sixth Formers pursue the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which we have delivered for over 40 years. The IB Diploma represents, in the school’s view, by far the best preparation for university and the world of work. The IB is not just an exam board, however; it embodies a philosophy of education based on a few basic principles: students should be both literate and numerate, scientifically adept as well as linguistically able, and not abandon key subjects at the age of 16; education is about more than passing exams; it involves promoting creativity in the arts, well-being through sport, and compassion through service in the community; schools have a responsibility for advancing a clear set of values, including international-mindedness, integrity, honesty, and tolerance towards others.
