At Bournemouth School for Girls Sixth Form, we are passionate about developing the person behind the grades. We believe that Sixth Form should be about more than academic achievement. It is also a time to discover new interests, develop your confidence, embrace new challenges and prepare for life beyond school.
Our carefully planned and extensive BSG+ Enrichment Programme offers a wide range of opportunities to broaden your experiences, develop valuable skills and explore interests beyond your A-level subjects.
From academic enrichment, independent research and super-curricular activities to sport, creative pursuits, clubs and societies, volunteering and leadership opportunities, our programme is designed to help you become a confident, resilient, resourceful and well-rounded young adult.
Our BSG+ Enrichment Programme offers a diverse range of activities and experiences, allowing you to personalise your Sixth Form journey around your interests, strengths and future ambitions.
Academic Enrichment & Intellectual Curiosity
Challenge yourself academically, explore subjects beyond the A-level curriculum and develop the independent thinking and research skills valued by universities and employers.
Opportunities include:
Clubs, Societies & Shared Interests
Our Sixth Form clubs and societies provide opportunities to explore your interests, connect with like-minded students and become actively involved in our vibrant Sixth Form community.
Whether you want to deepen your knowledge of a particular subject, debate important issues or share a passion with others, clubs and societies encourage intellectual curiosity, collaboration and confidence.
Opportunities include:
Students are also encouraged to take the initiative in developing new clubs and societies, helping to shape the experiences available within our Sixth Form community.
Leadership, Responsibility & Making a Difference
At BSG, we believe that leadership is about more than holding a title. It is about taking initiative, supporting others, being a positive role model and making a meaningful contribution to school life.
Our Sixth Form students play an important role in shaping our school community, with opportunities to develop leadership, communication, teamwork and organisational skills.
Leadership opportunities include:
These opportunities help students grow as confident, compassionate and responsible young adults, ready to make a positive contribution beyond Sixth Form.

At BSG Sixth Form, we recognise the importance of gaining real-world experience, exploring potential career pathways and developing the skills valued by universities and employers.
Our flexible approach to work experience allows students to undertake placements on Tuesdays or Wednesday afternoons at suitable points throughout the academic year, rather than being restricted to one fixed work experience week.
This flexibility enables students to explore a wider range of opportunities and arrange placements at times that work best for both the student and the organisation, while balancing their academic commitments.
Whether gaining experience in healthcare, education, business, law, engineering, the creative industries or another area of interest, students are encouraged to seek meaningful opportunities that help them:
By offering work experience throughout the academic year, we aim to make opportunities more accessible, varied and relevant to each student’s individual interests and aspirations.
