One of the things I have loved most about Cromwell sixth form is the
chance to explore new subjects and discover where my real interests lie.
As a student transferring from a local secondary school to Cromwell sixth
form, the transition was smooth and easy. From the moment I joined,
Cromwell sixth form stood out to me as a welcoming environment,
dedicated to not only students’ success, but also wellbeing.
The teachers encourage me to try my best, get involved, and pursue my
goals and to discover what I am truly passionate about, making me
more confident and determined.
Discussions with the sixth form team allowed me to adjust my choices
from results day, all the way to the end of September,
taking the pressure of worrying about whether you
will enjoy a subject.
Cromwell sixth form also made me much more
confident and informed about how and where
I want to go in the future. Thanks to the support and
opportunities at Cromwell, I feel more excited than
ever to work hard and achieve my goals.
For my A levels I have chosen to study psychology, English literature, and
criminology, and have found the lessons to be calm, engaging, and
interesting, which is a direct result of the teacher’s knowledge and
passion for their subjects.
Other than these areas of study, Cromwell offers a
well-rounded curriculum, ensuring students receive
holistic education and have a wide range of subjects
to choose from.
Overall, Cromwell is an outstanding school, preparing
students not only for education but for their future
pathways.
I would highly recommend this school to parents
who strive for their children’s success and confidence.

The freedom and
independence you have
in sixth form means that
you feel more
like an adult.
Since I was six years old, I’ve had a life path set up in my head. A levels are the first big step towards my long term
career. I always knew what I would choose, I always knew what I wanted to do. Obviously, my choices
became more specific, as schools typically don’t offer a ‘space exploration course’, however, I always knew what
I needed for my next steps.

Moving from GCSE to A levels was the biggest jump ever, and I have quite frankly struggled with some aspects
of self-studying and balancing my school, work, and social life. Thanks to Mrs Paul and Mrs Fisher, as well as my
great relationships with my teachers, I have managed to work out a balance. They are very helpful in not only
academics, but the social complications of moving through the sixth form landscape.
For my A levels, I took maths, biology and physics, with EPQ as an enrichment. I later dropped EPQ as it wasn’t
well suited to my abilities and I then picked up further maths as an AS level. This whole process was very
nerve-racking since I had no idea whether I had made a massive mistake, yet through the guidance of my
incredible maths teachers and the sixth form staff, they made it possible for me to make that switch.
Aer sixth form, I intend to go to the University of Edinburgh to study astrophysics and then complete
research for a PhD. None of this would be possible without the outstanding efforts of the sixth form staff.
All of it starts here at Cromwell, and I strongly believe there isn’t a better school in the area.
