Leadership
Recent research shows that entrepreneurs in the UK are twice as likely to be dyslexic
as the general population, so we are keen for our students to develop their leadership
skills. Our Sixth Formers have access to activities which will develop these skills, such
as the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and the Young Enterprise Scheme.
The National Citizen Service Scheme gives 16 and 17 year olds across England the
chance to meet others and tackle outdoor challenges on an exciting residential week
away from home, join with local businesses and social leaders to learn new skills,
discover more about their area and make their mark by developing and delivering
local volunteering projects that matter to them.
Sixth Formers are also encouraged to support younger pupils, for example by taking
on a mentoring or “buddy” role with Year 7 pupils, or helping to run clubs or activities.
Creative and Performing Arts
Music, Art and Drama have a strong tradition of excellence at Frewen College and
Sixth Formers have the opportunity to study Music, Art and Drama with private singing
or instrument lessons and LAMDA exams available. The Sixth Form performance
group, Six One, organises music and events, and students are encouraged to take
part in the girls’ choir, or to get involved, front-of-house or behind-the-scenes, with
our school concerts and our annual, outdoor school drama production, staged in our
beautiful chess garden.
THE F R EWEN E X P E R I ENCE
Courses
Frewen College offers most of its aademic and vocational Sixth Form
courses in conjunction with one of its two partner colleges, Bexhill
College and Plumpton College. The courses offered at sixth form will
be appropriate for each year’s intake and will focus on each student’s
individual progression, development and achievement.
Personal Development
All Sixth Formers take the ASDAN Personal and Social Development
Qualification which focuses on helping students become confident and
responsible individuals who make a positive contribution to society
and embrace change. The programme introduces new activities and
personal challenges and students learn to manage risk together with
their own wellbeing.
Sport
Sixth Formers are encouraged to take part in the wide range of
sporting activities on offer. As well as a running track and cross-
country trail, mountain bike trail, football and rugby pitches, and
netball and tennis courts, Sixth Formers can use the fitness suite or
outdoor swimming pool, go kayaking, trekking or orienteering.
