Nine Reasons to Choose Leicester High School for Girls’ Sixth Form.

As Head of Sixth Form at Leicester High School for Girls, I’ve witnessed the transformative effect of studying in an all-girls environment. Sixth Form is not just about academic achievement, but also building confidence, leadership, and preparing for life beyond school. Here’s why our all-girls Sixth Form stands out:

1. Focused Academic Environment Students can pursue their academic passions—whether in STEM or the arts—without the distractions found in co-educational settings.

2. Leadership Opportunities From roles like Head Girl to leading student societies, our girls build essential leadership skills that prepare them for future success.

3. Personalised Learning Smaller class sizes allow for tailored support, ensuring each girl reaches her full potential.

4. Strong Peer Support Our community encourages collaboration and supportive friendships, without the social pressures often seen in mixed schools.

5. Confidence and Empowerment Girls feel encouraged to voice their opinions and engage actively in their learning, building the confidence needed for life beyond school.

6. Holistic Education Beyond academics, our wide range of extracurricular activities helps students explore their interests and talents.

7. Proven Academic Success Our outstanding academic results demonstrate the benefits of an all-girls environment.

8. Comprehensive UCAS and Career Guidance We provide expert support to help students choose the right path after school, ensuring they’re well-prepared for university.

9. Enrichment and Life Skills Our programmes offer practical skills like self-defence and budgeting, preparing students for life beyond Sixth Form.

We invite you to experience our Sixth Form at our Taster Day and Information Evening on 5 November.
