Every day we think about the future. The world we are about to step into, the young women we’ll be when we do. KC Sixth Form is us. We go deep here, we think, test, challenge and create. Sometimes we listen. Sometimes we speak out. We preserve the precious and relish the radical. We are rockets lighting ourselves. Confident, caring and powerful, we are the people who will change societies and lives. We can’t wait to begin.
Future Focused
Future Focused
The Sixth Form at Kent College, for girls 16-18 years, offers much more than simply an academic education. Our students are confident and warm hearted young people who will be set apart in their drive and ambition, and understand the importance of community and their part in it. They will be future leaders and contributors to society and leave KC ready and prepared for their life ahead. They are the future.
Bespoke Offer
Bespoke Offer
Life in the Sixth Form is exciting and A Levels present a greater academic challenge. We believe that students should be able to study the subjects which inspire and excite them which is why we offer twenty five A Levels and three BTEC qualifications, and design a bespoke timetable around each student's choice. This allows for maximum flexibility in choice with students selecting three or four subjects.
