Welcome To
St Columba’s Sixth Form

Welcome to the St Columba’s Sixth Form, a thriving ‘College within the College’, where our students become the fine young adults that we are so proud to send out into the world.

Here you will find a sanctuary of academic rigour and personal growth, a lively environment in which students can take their place at the head and heart of the school, aspiring to their very highest potential and serving others to become leaders and citizens with a global view. There are Columbans forging successful and worthwhile lives in every field imaginable: we know, because they come back and tell us, passing on their experience and sharing their passions.

Mr David Waters

Head of Sixth Form

Your Child’s Journey

Our Sixth Form offers a wide range of subjects, extracurricular experiences and leadership opportunities: students emerge with skills, qualifications and attributes that make them ready for their next adventure, leaving behind a legacy of character and ambition.

We have a hard-working and supportive Sixth Form team to ensure that we meet the needs of our students. I am assisted by the Deputy Head of Sixth Form, Mr Chris Sheils, and our expert Head of Careers, Mrs Griffiths Plunkett. Mrs Maria Adair offers support to our Stretch and Challenge group and additionally we have a team of 12 tutors who see the students each day. We also have a Sixth Form Study Supervisor who ensures that the students are maximising their non-contact periods and developing good habits to prepare them for the independent study of university life.

We believe that creating the right atmosphere and providing a supportive environment is crucial to ensuring that each student is happy and has every opportunity to flourish.
