The LPS Sixth approach deliberately balances independence with structure. Students are trusted to take greater responsibility for their learning, manage independent study and make mature decisions about their time, while being supported by a strong academic and pastoral framework.
Teaching takes place in small classes, typically with no more than eight students, providing high levels of individual attention, regular contact with subject specialists and teaching that can respond closely to each student’s needs.
The LPS Sixth programme focuses on developing academic independence alongside the skills, experiences and confidence needed for success in higher education and work. The programmes focuses on developing students’:
- Independent research
- Critical evaluation
- Sophisticated argument construction
- Confident and clear communication
- Academic writing
- Presentation and public speaking
- Organisation
- Independent-study skills
LPS Sixth empowers students to take ownership of their futures, ensuring a smooth transition to university or work.
