The College offers a wide selection of AS and A Level courses which seek to cater for pupils of wide aspirations and abilities.  As with the Junior School, the study of mathematics, the sciences and languages, classical and modern, are popular.  Bradfield also has a strong reputation for the study of English and History as well as a number of creative disciplines, including Art, Design and Technology and Photography.  The most able are invited to study Critical Thinking alongside their chosen A Level subjects and many will seek to extend their enjoyment of the classroom experience by joining some of the subject-based societies which operate outside of lesson time, in the evenings and at weekends.

Most pupils at the College follow four AS Level courses in the Lower Sixth. However, the structure of the Sixth Form timetable does allow the most able and highly-motivated to take a further AS course if they so choose. A wide range of AS and A2 Level courses is offered and a flexible approach to timetabling enables each Sixth Form pupil to have a free choice of subjects. In the Upper Sixth the norm is to study three or four A2 Level subjects, although some take up a new AS subject in their final year.

PSHE is delivered within the boarding houses. Careers and further education advice and guidance is an important feature of the Sixth Form and is delivered through a dedicated Careers Department and specified members of staff.

Bradfield is a very popular destination for girls and boys who want a change of school at Sixth Form level. There are many and varied reasons behind their choices, but those most commonly cited are:

•           the College’s high level of pastoral care and friendly family ethos provide a safe and

            enjoyable environment for pupils who want to take on the boarding experience as a

            prelude to the independence of university life;

•          the size of the Sixth Form, the way house and teaching staff treat the pupils as adults,

           and the diversity and range of subject options combine to give great opportunities to

           form a wide network of friendships, as well as to achieve academic success;

•           for many who have thus far experienced a single sex school, the College brings the full 

            coeducational dimension in preparation for university and adult life;

•           the excellence and range of the extra- curricular activities and the proactive culture which

            teaches that it is good and normal to participate.
