BHHS has a strong tradition of educating its students for life; this is now further enhanced by developments in the Sixth Form of which we want you to be a part of. We are confident of the thoroughness and quality of the education we can offer you here and equally assured that whoever joins us in the Sixth Form will be part of a warm, friendly community. You will have an important role to play as leaders in the wider school and will enjoy an environment that is positive, encourages and respects motivation and values independent thought. So do come and visit us and see for yourself. We want you to experience at first hand how good our teachers and facilities are.
Our teaching styles are tailored to the individual. Teaching is offered in very small groups using a seminar style approach that provides an unparalleled preparation for University and achieves outstanding academic results (100% success in achieving grades A-E in 2007, 95% awarded top grades). This is supported by excellent higher education and careers advice. BHHS has extensive experience in preparing students for UCAS entry, and, through its membership of the Girls' Day School Trust, offers Sixth Form students a unique programme of life skills in preparation for the workplace.
The stand-alone Sixth Form facility is based in a beautiful building in the heart of the city. This allows the girls to play a rich part in community life, build solid friendships and participate in family life.
The academic and social opportunities are supported by a varied extra-curricular programme. BHHS aims to nurture talent, increase responsibility and build confidence, teamwork and leadership skills through a programme of activities including drama, running clubs, music, Young Enterprise, Duke of Edinburgh, trips abroad, sport, mentoring and more.
If you are looking for a first class Sixth Form experience which will help you achieve your ambitions for higher education, set you up for your chosen career path, develop your individuality and independence, and help you gain the qualities you need to become the adults and leaders of the next generation we would welcome the chance to discuss the opportunities at BHHS.
