Welcome to the Sixth Form at Streatham and Clapham High School. We have a reputation as a supportive, successful and friendly community, where students get to know each other well by building upon self-belief, self-respect and respect for others. This is true whether you are one of our own students or joining our community from another school or college.

Our aim is to assist our students in making the right choices and decisions, so that they give themselves the best possible opportunity to achieve academic success. We help them to develop as independent, well prepared and confident individuals ready to face the challenges of life.

A purpose built Sixth Form suite provides an ideal environment to support their learning at this level.

In our Sixth Form, students are encouraged to achieve excellence in everything they do. They benefit from:

• A diverse and stimulating range of courses to foster a love of learning and the acquisition of knowledge and skills
• Individual attention and sense of partnership from highly qualified and dedicated staff
• A happy and supportive environment
• A wide range of extra curricular activities
• Excellent facilities and resources
• Experienced advice, which will ensure that students reach their desired destination; most of our students go on to university or college.

I look forward to working with you.
Veronica Mills
Head of Sixth Form

Message from the Head Girl 2006 - 2007

Walk through the corridors of Streatham and Clapham High School and you cannot miss the smiles on the girls’ faces and the lively atmosphere that permeates the school. It is a place where girls can excel in all areas, both in and out of the curriculum. Whilst academic standards are high, many girls enjoy participating in extra-curricular activities ranging from expeditions to Peru to Amnesty International.
These unique opportunities complement the excellent teaching, pastoral care and cultural diversity that provide everyone with a sense that they belong. Girls form bonds with both peers and teachers and, above all, they feel free to be themselves. Their time in the school sees them flourish both academically and socially.

The Sixth Form, too, is a close and vibrant community, with opportunities to take on new responsibilities, help out in the Junior Department or set up clubs and societies. Girls participate in a wide range of activities outside the school day including City Conferences, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and Model United Nations. However, work remains a chief priority with lessons taught in small, friendly classes. The teachers are extremely supportive and show a genuine concern that each girl in every year group should achieve her full potential.
