At Cowes Sixth Form we educate for life and want you to believe that your studies will not only change your own lives but other people’s too. 

We want you to be passionate about your subject choices, eager to learn, inquisitive in your research and thorough in your work. 

We want you to take feedback on board and work hard to make your dreams realities. We will support you in these expectations but it is essential that you bring commitment and dedication to your studies at this level. 

Playing an active part in your learning is central to our teaching and learning philosophy at Cowes Sixth Form; we offer much more than just a traditional learning environment. 

Our teaching staff want to inspire you to learn, to question, to challenge and to create. In addition to offering field trips, laboratory studies, work visits and placements in both the public and private sectors, we focus on the development of your transferable skills. Our curriculum ensures you are able to hone skills such as oracy, teamwork, communication and project management. 

You will also develop your independent study skills through a programme of structured learning activities and extended projects requiring time management, task prioritisation, strategic planning and adherence to strict deadlines. You will be challenged intellectually and encouraged to develop your ability to work and learn independently – all skills that you will take with you in your chosen career.
