Senior School Learning
Senior School Learning
In First and Second Forms, pupils study a broad range of subjects with cross-curricular links that strengthen skills and habits for the exam years ahead. In Third Form, focus turns to GCSE preparation: pupils make initial subject choices and benefit from flexible timetabling that supports a personalised set of qualifications. We offer a wide range of GCSE subjects and value a firm grounding across disciplines: ambition paired with breadth to ensure future success.

Preparing for the Future
Our Sixth Form equips students to thrive academically, personally, and socially, providing a solid platform for university or career paths.
What makes a strong Sixth Form experience?
Sixth Form is a pivotal stage in a young person’s education. It is a time of increasing independence, academic focus, and preparation for life beyond school. For families in Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds, choosing the right Sixth Form is about more than subject choice alone.
Can pupils join from other schools?
Yes, we welcome external applicants at 16+.
How do you support university applications?
Led by Head of Futures Mrs Bignell, our Futures provision runs throughout the Senior School, with an awareness of different career paths introduced in the Prep School.
We combine the latest tools with proven experiences (including work experience) to ensure pupils move on confidently. An annual Futures Fair brings leading universities, degree apprenticeship providers and employers to Cokethorpe for Fourth Form to Upper Sixth and parents from the School and local community.
Research and Scholarship
Academic Scholarships recognise pupils who show ambition, perseverance, scepticism in the face of certainty, and enthusiasm for learning. The annual Scholars’ Journal shares original research by Scholars in the Senior School and Sixth Form, showcasing independent exploration and broad intellectual curiosity.
