personalised and dynamic
post-16 experience, with a
wide range of opportunities
to gain qualifications and
develop first class skills
for employment.
S
ixth Formers are encouraged to
pursue new interests, ensuring
they achieve their full potential.
The staff offer unrivalled advice
and support on university applications
and career options, designed to ensure
students’ future success.
The current Year 13 students are
hard at work, anxiously preparing for
their final A-level exams, with many
students already looking ahead to the
next chapter of their lives; whether it
be furthering their study at university,
applying for an apprenticeship or
embarking on a new career path. More
than 96% of Year 13 students who
applied have been successfully offered
a place at their chosen university,
including highly regarded universities
such as Oxford, Cambridge, UCL,
Edinburgh and King’s College London
– the school’s most successful entryrate for higher education to date.
Parth Gharfalkar, Year 13 Student
Vice-President, who has been offered
a place to study physics at Cambridge
University, said: “I’m really excited
about going to Cambridge; it’s been
a dream for me since I was a child. My
teachers helped me to prepare for the
interview in addition to their support
throughout my studies, so that I didn’t
get nervous during the interview and
was able to enjoy myself.”
Building on its 100% pass rate in
STEM subjects (science, technology,
engineering and maths) and the school’s
specialism in science and technology,
many of the students opted to pursue
their interests in science-based degrees
such as physics, chemistry and forensic
science, pharmacy, aeronautical
engineering and psychology; with an
inspiring nine students being offered
places to study biomedical science at
their chosen university.
Shazia Shabbir, Villiers University
Lectures Club Leader; and Year 13
student Saarim Suleman; are both
delighted that they have both been
successfully offered places to study
medicine at their chosen university.
Shazia said: “My favourite part of
being at Villiers has to be the number
of ambitious people I have met here.
They inspire and help motivate me with
my studies. The teachers in the Sixth
Form are really supportive and push
you to exceed your potential. I would
advise younger students to always think
ahead and look towards your future.”
With a 100% pass rate in STEM
subjects at AS and A level, the best
ever A-level results to date, and with
the majority of sixth form students
successfully progressing to a number
of prestigious universities, Villiers Sixth
Form is on a fast track to success, with
ambitious plans to sustain and accelerate
the progress. We wish all sixth form
students the best of luck in their exams,
confident that they have what it takes to
succeed; developing and strengthening
their passport to a brighter future.
