How to support your teenager in Sixth Form

Sixth Form is a big step in a teenager’s development and growth, bridging the transition between childhood and adulthood. During this time your teen works towards qualifications which will influence their future. Schools and colleges actively encourage independent study to help prepare students for further education or the world of work, where they will need to take initiative in seeking out information for themselves.

Effective study and revision also includes developing and growing essential life skills, such as time management; resilience in challenging situations; and finding the right balance between work and leisure. Therefore, Sixth Form is not only about acquiring qualifications, it is also about nurturing personal qualities that will benefit them in the years to come, whatever path they may choose to take after Year 13.

We have created valuable resources for parents and carers to support their teenagers during Sixth Form, covering various topics such as effective revision techniques, hydration, nutrition, and more.
