A Sixth Form for Success
Our Sixth Form experience offers high quality teaching in a calm and supportive environment. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves and work with increasing independence.
Small class sizes, regular assessment and personalised feedback help every
student develop confidence, resilience and the study skills needed for A Level success. As they progress, students learn to carry out research, think critically and manage their own learning, preparing them well for university
and future careers.
Alongside their A Levels, students are encouraged to explore wider
interests through clubs, societies,the Super-Curriculum and the
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Most students study three
A Levels, although many take four if studying Further Mathematics or a home language. All students complete the EPQ, which helps them show independence, curiosity and strong academic skills.
A major strength of the Sixth Form is our Higher Education and Careers Programme. Students receive expert support with university applications in the UK and abroad. They benefit from academic mentoring, UCAS guidance, interview practice, admissions test preparation and tailored advice for
universities in the US, Canada,Europe, Asia and Australia.
From September 2026, we will also offer the Leiths Level 3 Certificate in Professional Food and Cookery, a practical and respected qualification that develops excellent culinary skills.
Beyond academic study, Sixth Form students take part in cocurricular activities and community action projects. Through these experiences, they develop character, confidence and social responsibility. Our aim is to ensure every student leaves Mill Hill International with strong results, meaningful friendships and the skills needed to thrive at university
and beyond.
