Prospectus
Thinking of joining us at Knights Templar Sixth Form?
There are loads of good reasons for studying with us, whether you are already a student at Knights Templar school, or you’re thinking of moving from another school to join us.
KTS offers fantastic academic programmes, superb study facilities and extensive extra-curricular opportunities, all within a small, friendly and supportive Sixth Form environment.
But don’t take it from us – here’s what some of our former students have to say.
| "My experience at KTS has been very positive and I wouldn’t want to have spent the last two years anywhere else. I have particularly enjoyed extracurricular activities in Music and Drama and appreciate the welcoming attitude to participation"
|
|
"The Knights Templar Sixth Form offered a friendly and welcoming environment, which allowed me to develop as a well-rounded individual. My subject teachers and form tutor were very supportive. I also appreciate being able to work with younger school pupils in these events, as they are a way to make good friends with a variety of people outside your lesson times and immediate circle. I have been part of the “teach team” for drama, which encouraged me to seek apprenticeship employment in this sector after Sixth form." |
|
"The sheer number of extra-curricular activities available at this school makes it an obvious choice to come here."
|
| "The A-levels I took were completely different to the extra curricular activities I enjoy, which is why I am so fond of KTS - other sixth forms I viewed were better at arts or sciences, whereas KTS has good resources and teachers in each subject, and arts are valued equally to the sciences and humanities."
|
| "The support and enthusiasm I have received from teachers and staff has helped me do things I never really expected of myself. Year 11 me wouldn’t have thought I’d be Deputy stage manager, sing in a band, make a recycling bin for the common room, or perform in the Jazz spectacular, and I’m very pleased with how much my confidence has grown in the last two years! "
|
| "My time at KTS Sixth Form has seen huge development in my studies, both in skills that will enable me to achieve more in post-18 options and through the continuing support of incredible members of staff. One of the sixth forms biggest selling points is staff that consistently go out of their way to support you achieve the most and this is seen from the top of the Sixth Form Leadership team and through each and every teacher. At the end of two years at the Sixth Form you will be able to reflect on a truly special experience where every lesson and opportunity collate to mark a huge step in your journey."

|
"I really feel like I was treated like an adult. I was given free time and expected to be independent in my studies, although teachers were always there to help if I needed them."
|
|
"Since joining KTS in Year 12, I have been blown away by the incredible teachers and support services. My teachers were very understanding and helpful and the classroom environment is so enjoyable and supportive. I have made lifelong friends here, and also reconnected with people from primary school, which has been wonderful. The opportunity to be part of wider events such as sports day and the Macmillan coffee morning was so worth it and I have received incredible support in my university applications. Since my first day at KTS, I have felt part of the community and since choosing it for Sixth Form I have never looked back and never regretted my decision."
|
| "I chose to come to KTS sixth form due to the range of opportunities available including Gold DofE, music, drama and student leadership. When looking at other sixth forms I would not have been able to do all of these things simultaneously anywhere else. Experiences like Gold DofE are some of my best memories from sixth form so I am extremely glad to have had that opportunity." |
| "The sixth form is so welcoming and friendly that instantly those worries surpassed and I felt comfortable in an environment I was once terrified of. KTS has taught me how to believe in myself and my own abilities, helping guide me through my A level studies. I have so many amazing memories from my time here."
|
|
"The Sixth Form is a wonderful place to be! Meeting new people was a great aspect of the Sixth Form experience, and my friends were an essential part of helping to motivate me when deadlines were due. KTS has taught me that working hard is vital to achieving your goals and you should always aim high."
|
|
"Since my first day attending The Knights Templar sixth form I have always felt welcome."
|
| "Since joining KTS two years ago, the teachers and students have all been very friendly and helpful and made it a lovely environment to learn in. I have particularly loved Biology and all the fun discussions that went with it. Being in KTS Sixth Form has allowed me to improve my academic work ethic and abilities as well as make lots of new friends and memories. I would highly recommend the sixth form to anyone and would especially encourage them to take advantage of the countless opportunities that the school provides!"
|
| "KTS has been an amazing experience of 7 years and I am going to miss it. The last 2 years in sixth form have been some of the most fun times and I have made so many memories in my time here."
|
|
"The Sixth Form provided a very supportive learning environment. There is always somebody on hand to help when necessary. Teachers dedicate a lot of time, inside and outside of lessons, to ensure that students feel confident in their learning."
|
|
"I loved my time at the KTS Sixth Form. All of my classmates and teachers were extremely supportive and I cannot thank them enough for making my time here as positive as it was. Although I was unsure about what I would do in my future when I arrived here, by the end of it, thanks to my brilliant experience and the support of the school, I know where my future lies. The school provided excellent opportunities for extra-curricular activities and my experience in the many bands the school offers was the highlight of my time here. Performing at the Christmas Carol Service is a memory that will stay with me forever."
