Whether you're interested in Science, History, Theatre, Art or Fashion, Marling Sixth Form is a great next step. It's the choice for hundreds of Gloucestershire students each year, thanks to its outstanding academic performance, wide range of opportunities and friendly environment. Half the students join the school for the first time in Y12, making it a new and exciting start for everyone.
Marling offers a broad range of A Level subjects along with options such as Creative Writing, Geology, Classics or Fashion Textiles. For the past three years, students studying Fashion Textiles have won a place at the recycled fashion Junk Kouture World Finals - most recently held in Monaco and Abu Dhabi. Scientists do their share of globe-trotting too, with trips this year to Barcelona, Berlin and Geneva in Switzerland.
In Geneva, Physics students will visit CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider, meeting scientists working at the cutting edge of Particle Physics research. Students like the mix of academic challenges and opportunities outside the classroom, along with the welcoming and supportive environment. Head Student Sophie Evans, who joined the sixth form from Severn Vale School, said: "I was looking for somewhere that would give me enough freedom but also enough support to do my best at A Levels.
Marling has done both of those things. "At the same time, I have had the chance to get involved in so many new activities, including leadership." Fellow student Chanelle Wood, also fro.
