Welcome to Year 6 at Leicester High School for Girls

At Leicester High, we view Year 6 as more than just a bridge between Junior and Senior School—it’s a pivotal year that gives girls a unique chance to experience the Senior curriculum, specialist teaching, and a nurturing transition that helps them flourish academically and personally.

Why Choose Year 6 at LHS?

A Head Start on Senior School
In Year 6, your daughter gains a full year of the Senior School experience, immersing herself in a broad curriculum without the added pressure of SATs. We prioritise her love of learning, fostering curiosity, and building a strong foundation for academic success.

Specialist Teaching, Tailored to Year 6
Your daughter will enjoy dedicated Year 6 spaces and access to Senior School teaching rooms, so she benefits from outstanding resources and inspiring teaching.

Transition that Supports & Encourages
Rather than a brief transition, we treat the entire Year 6 as a gentle, supportive progression into Senior School life. Your daughter will experience an Induction Day over the summer to meet her Form Tutor, Head of Year, and new friends through teamwork and bonding activities.

Support from Older Students

Joining Year 6 at LHS means your daughter will have support from our Student Wellbeing Ambassadors, trained Sixth Form students who are here to help her settle in. She'll get to know older students throughout the Senior School who can provide guidance, help with homework, and encourage her to join in activities. It’s a fantastic way to feel welcomed and connected within the wider LHS community.
