The prospect of independent living is an exciting one for teenagers who are edging closer to becoming adults. A time to thrive and truly find themselves whilst side by side with their peers who share the same passions and boarding school journey as one another. Unlike usual sixth form colleges, boarding schools offer a captivating environment in a specialist sixth form manner. There are plenty of benefits to consider.

At Rendcomb College we are proud of our sporting heritage and always delight in sharing great results and outcomes from our students. It’s time to celebrate another milestone for our sports stars as our 1st XI Girls’ Hockey Team have held onto an unbeaten record for the regular season.

The debate around career paths and “Is University for Everyone?” could take up pages of discourse with strong arguments both for and against. One of the things we really pride ourselves on at Rendcomb College is developing pupils to become Thoughtful, Adventurous and Ambitious. 

As you start to look at options for life after secondary school there are a number of options to look at. Whether that’s sixth form, college or university later down the line if you want to continue your academic education. When applying for sixth form you’ll most likely be asked to put together a personal statement to submit with your application form. 

This will probably be your first experience writing one and it can be daunting looking at a blank page wondering what to include. A personal statement is your opportunity to showcase why you want to attend a certain sixth form, why you have chosen the courses on your preference list and most importantly what you can offer them. There are a number of key points to bear in mind when constructing your personal statement to make yours standout.
