Beyond the Classroom
Expand your horizons
At The New Sixth, your education goes far beyond qualifications. Our enrichment programme provides the personal support you need to build experiences that universities and employers actively seek - transforming your potential into the powerful future you deserve.
You’ll personalise your education through our enrichment programme, designed to challenge you intellectually and help you stand out in interviews by demonstrating the genuine potential that top universities and employers seek.
Through dedicated time allocated in your weekly timetable, you’ll develop the critical skills identified as essential for success in adult life. Some activities extend into St Gregory’s school life, allowing you to mentor younger students and develop valuable leadership experience.
Take advantage of the extra curricular and leadership opportunities. You'll make like-minded friends and develop key skills in teamwork, responsibility, confidence and leadership.
