You must carefully consider the choices you must make since they will affect your future. We hope you will seriously consider the Sixth Form at St. Mark's for we believe that we offer an education second to none, not only in terms of academic achievement, but also in the way we develop the moral, spiritual and social values of our students. St. Mark's provides a wide range of courses taught by experienced and successful teachers who will give you constant help, support and encouragement. We offer experienced pastoral care, and, as a Catholic school, opportunities for worship and spiritual growth. We also offer opportunities to develop your leadership skills here within the school. Other institutions might not be able to provide these aspects. Despite the Sixth Form's expansion, we remain committed to treating each student as an individual. We think there are compelling arguments for selecting a career in the sixth form at St. Mark's. We are immensely proud of our Sixth Form and feel confident that you will experience a very welcoming, happy and supportive community.
