We think an important part of being a Sixth Form student is gaining a better understanding of the wider world.
Students are able to take part in foreign exchanges, field trips and educational visits, both at home and abroad. Recent trips have visited
the United States, China, Russia and South Africa. Every other year, the Sixth Form participates in Operation Wallacea, in 2020 to Madagascar. All students who study Biology have the opportunity to visit Bangor as part
of a four-day field trip in the summer term of Year 12. The students stay in university accommodation and use
the facilities on campus to enhance their study of the subject and gain experience of student life. There is also an annual field trip for Physics students to CERN in Switzerland to deepen
their understanding of the practical application of the subject. Each year, at least two of our students take part in the Holocaust Education Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz programme, which involves visiting Poland. Virtually all our subjects run trips to subject conferences and lectures, productions and galleries.
We encourage as many students as possible to participate in physical activities. Teams are fielded in football, netball, rugby and badminton on Wednesday afternoons. We also have strong swimming and skiing teams that take part in both local and national
competitions. Opportunities are also available for students to undertake recreational physical activities on a Wednesday afternoon in our Sports Hall at our Main School Site on Chatburn Road. We have considerable experience of supporting young athletes who are participating in national development programmes and appreciate the importance of flexibility for these individuals.
Each year, we are delighted to welcome a large number of very talented students to CRGS Sixth
Form and you do not need to study Music or Theatre to take part in the extra-curricular activities. The Drama Club meets regularly and each year stages at least one production, often in conjunction with students from our Main School. There are opportunities to get involved in all aspects of a production, including lighting and sound. There are a number of musical ensembles and choirs for students
to participate in, with plenty of opportunities to
enjoy performing.
“CRGS Sixth Form is always exciting and interesting, each day is never the same as the last.”
