Welcome to Bournemouth School for Girls

At Bournemouth School for Girls Sixth Form, we believe that Sixth Form should be about more than achieving excellent A-level results. It is about discovering your strengths, developing your confidence, embracing new opportunities and preparing for an exciting future.

We combine a tradition of academic excellence with an ambitious, supportive and inclusive young adult environment, where students are encouraged to challenge themselves, pursue their interests and become confident, independent and well-rounded young adults.

Whether you are continuing your journey at Bournemouth School for Girls or joining us from another school, you will become part of a welcoming, close-knit community of students who share your ambition to succeed.

What sets BSG Sixth Form apart?

Academic excellence in a focused, ambitious environment

Our academically selective, girls-only Sixth Form brings together students of similar academic ability who share a positive attitude towards learning and a determination to succeed. At BSG, our girls-only learning environment encourages every young woman to find her voice, embrace her individuality, challenge expectations and pursue her ambitions with confidence.

You will be taught by passionate subject specialist teachers who are experts in their fields, benefiting from stimulating academic discussion, high expectations and tailored support to help you thrive and realise your potential.

Our Sixth Form offers a young adult learning environment that balances growing independence with clear structure, purposeful study and academic challenge, helping you develop the habits, confidence and self-discipline needed for success at A Level and beyond.

Surrounded by like-minded, ambitious students, you will be encouraged to contribute, challenge ideas, take intellectual risks and explore subjects and pathways that genuinely inspire you.

Developing the whole person

We are passionate about developing the person behind the grades.

Our carefully planned and extensive BSG+ Enrichment programme offers opportunities to discover new interests, develop valuable skills and broaden your experiences beyond the classroom.

From academic enrichment, research projects and super-curricular activities to sport, creative pursuits, volunteering and leadership opportunities, our programme is designed to help you become a confident, resilient, resourceful and well-rounded young adult.

Personalised support and a strong sense of belonging

Our experienced Sixth Form team provides personalised academic and pastoral support, recognising that every student has different strengths, aspirations and challenges.

Through dedicated tutors, individual guidance, academic mentoring, guest speakers and a supportive Sixth Form community, we help students develop independence while ensuring that guidance and encouragement are always available.

We are proud of our welcoming and inclusive environment, where students joining from other schools quickly become valued members of our Sixth Form community.

Exceptional preparation for life beyond BSG

We believe that excellent Sixth Form education should prepare you not only for examinations, but for the opportunities, decisions and challenges that lie ahead.

Our comprehensive careers and future pathways programme provides expert, personalised guidance to help every student make informed and ambitious choices about their next steps.

Whether your ambition is university, a competitive degree apprenticeship, employment or another exciting pathway, our experienced team will support you throughout the process.

Through individual guidance meetings, careers education, employer engagement, guest speaker programmes, work experience, university preparation and specialist support for competitive applications, we help students develop the skills, knowledge and confidence to take their next steps successfully.

Our promise to you

We will challenge you academically, support you personally and encourage you to make the most of every opportunity. In return, we ask you to approach your studies with commitment, contribute positively to our community and embrace the opportunities to develop yourself.

At BSG Sixth Form, we don’t just prepare you for your next set of examinations.

We prepare you for what comes next!

I very much look forward to welcoming you to our community.
