Life at WBGS Sixth Form

We asked our current Sixth Form students to share their thoughts on life at Watford Boys. They told us about the academic excellence, pastoral support, leadership opportunities, and the unique environment that helps them thrive.

"The support that the school gave me in terms of application help and interview preparation when looking at universities was well delivered and helpful.

Sixth Form has been some of the best times of my school life: I've met new friends, studied new subjects, and felt well-supported the whole time.

The most valuable aspect of being a WBGS Sixth Form student in my opinion is the layout we have, that facilitates studying in whatever way you want. We have the cafe (where you don't need to work, and can relax with your friends), the downstairs of the SFC (where you can work with friends in a more relaxed atmosphere), and then the upstairs (silent individual study for when you really need to concentrate). I found that this was really useful for the way I worked in that I could change my mindset merely by changing location. "
Joseph, Year 13

"The level of teaching and the prestige of the school - I understood instantly why the school has the reputation it does."

Arun, Year 13

"There is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, with an emphasis on working hard whilst still enjoying a more social side of school life with your friends."

Jamie, Year 13

"I would describe the Sixth Form atmosphere as not only a focused academic environment, but a chill environment where you are able to balance studying with a relaxed, social vibe - particularly in the Sixth Form Café."

Kai, Year 13

"Learning support has really helped build techniques to thrive and also gives me someone to talk to."

Arun, Year 13

"The school has done a great job at ingraining a high work ethic. This has meant I have been able to complete assignments at a high quality and decent timing, a skill which I can imagine will be vital in the coming years.

The culture at Watford Boys combines a perfect level of competitiveness and collaboration. This ensures that as an individual, you aim high but also learn from your surroundings. "

Kian, Year 13

"You're given a lot of personal responsibility here at Watford Boys, and my experience is that the trust placed in you helps keep you focused on your goals. By the same token, it also means staying engaged is essential given you are the person driving your studies."

Sam, Year 13
