Careers and Futures

Preparing for Extraordinary Futures

“The School gave me the opportunity, guidance, and contacts to do what I now love.”

At Ipswich Sixth Form, education is about more than academic success, it’s about building confidence, independence, and a clear sense of direction. Pupils benefit from expert teaching, personalised guidance, and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities, forming a strong foundation for life beyond school.

 

Personalised Guidance

Every pupil receives tailored support to explore future pathways, whether that’s applying to the UK’s top universities, prestigious international institutions, competitive apprenticeships, or planning a gap year. Dedicated staff guide students through UCAS applications, personal statements, and interview preparation, ensuring they feel confident and well-prepared.

 

Beyond the Classroom

Clubs, societies, and sports enrich Sixth Form life, fostering collaboration, leadership, and curiosity. From debating to drama, enterprise to volunteering, pupils develop the skills and self-belief that universities and employers value most.

 

Old Ipswichian Network

The Ipswich School journey doesn’t end at graduation. Our Old Ipswichian network connects former pupils across the world, offering mentoring, professional connections, and ongoing inspiration.
