You are unique. So are we
Life as a Sixth Form student at SJB is exciting, challenging and enjoyable. Every student succeeds and leaves us with excellent qualifications and experiences which will last a life-time. Our results at all levels consistently exceed the national average. This year we celebrated record A Level results with 72% of all exam entries gaining an A or B grade and an average UCAS points score per student of 367 (equivalent to 3 A grades). This placed us 8th nationally for comprehensive schools and first in Surrey.
Students also succeed in many other areas of school life, playing an active part in the school house system, performing on stage, taking part in sports events, voluntary service, retreats, foreign exchanges and trips, Wednesday afternoon enrichment activities and the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes.
The Sixth Form has its own unique identity but remains an integral part of the SJB community. The Sixth Form is housed in a modern building, with a brand new learning resource centre, a refurbished common room and three study rooms. Every classroom in the school has an interactive whiteboard and students are able to access their school work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students are strongly encouraged to become independent learners and teachers and tutors support them in this quest, helping them plan and prepare for their future.
We are a fully comprehensive Sixth Form Centre with an aim of providing each and every student in our care with the very best deal. Students who choose to be part of our Sixth Form are expected to have high ambitions and expectations of themselves. Most of our GCSE students opt to remain with us and we welcome many students from other schools to our community.
We operate an 'open door' policy at SJB. You are welcome any time to come and see us in action, meet some students and teachers and get a better idea of what SJB has to offer. Everything we do at SJB places the needs of the students first and I would strongly encourage anyone interested to come and see us or contact us for more details. External students will be sent an application on request. Whilst we accept applications throughout the year we do recommend that you get these in by 31 January 2009 to give you the best possible chance of getting a place.
