success
We have a strong tradition of academic success at A Level and in the Extended
Project Qualification. This is achieved through a combination of inspirational
and engaging teaching, superb facilities and outstanding pastoral care. Our
state-of-the-art Thomas More Sixth Form Centre provides the perfect learning
environment.
Highly qualified academic staff offer expert insight and advice, not just in
their areas of specialist expertise but also in promoting the New Hall Scholarly
Habits and the study and research skills
that are valued by universities. Many have
direct experience of working for the public
examination boards, giving them particular
insight into how best to prepare the students
for A Levels.
A wide range of A Level subjects is offered,
so that you can pursue your strengths and
interests, with the freedom to choose the particular combination of courses
that best suits you.
There are opportunities to gain important skills in giving presentations,
debating, team building, critical thinking and philosophical reasoning. On
a practical level, there are courses in cookery, including ‘practical cookery for
university’, a varied sporting programme and an active community service.
All students participate in a specialist university and careers programme,
including support for competitive courses such as medicine, law and
engineering. There is a bespoke scheme for those students intending to apply
to highly selective universities, such as Oxford and Cambridge, and interview
training is offered to all.
