You will also need stationery that includes pens and pencils, ruler, calculator, scissors, glue, highlighters.


Students will be required to attend a day trip to Mill Road in January of year 12 for their Place topic which will cost in the region of £20. They will also be required to attend a residential fieldtrip of 4 days at the start of year 13 which will run over a weekend and some school time.


Students will go to Studland to undertake research for the Independent Investigation (coursework). This will cost in the region of £300. We will endeavour to keep the cost of these trips down as much as possible. There is a sixth form bursary fund available for those who may need some financial support.
