Hymers Sixth Form
Year 12 - 13
Where motivational stories begin…
Sixth Form at Hymers College offers a raft of exciting opportunities to help your child unlock their potential for a successful future.
Our culture is one of aspiration. Your child will be encouraged to achieve their very best inside and outside the classroom, with an extensive range of activities on offer.
Whether they progress from our Senior School or join us for the first time in Year 12, your child will have access to first-rate teaching in small class sizes, with a broad range of A Level and BTEC classes to choose from. There are also a broad range of co-curricular opportunities, which will help them to pursue their passion and hone their focus for the future.
Some really exciting opportunities come from our alumni network - our Old Hymerians. You and your child will be able to tap into our vast global network for work experience, careers guidance and talks to inspire and boost their university and career prospects.
At Hymers College we can open doors to an extensive range of onward opportunities.
“The students are a happy bunch of lively teenagers having a great deal of fun learning, playing and achieving. One Year 13 on her way to Oxford said, ‘I really feel they’ve equipped me to deal with university not just because of the skills and knowledge they’ve taught me but because of the blend of people I’ve met here'.”

Curriculum
At Hymers Sixth Form, students generally choose three subjects (four in certain circumstances). As well as A Levels and BTECs, we offer a number of independently studied courses, such as the Extended Project Qualification and the Certificate in Financial Studies.
We usually ask that students have six GCSEs at grade 6 and above, as well as grade 7 in the subjects they are wishing to study at A Level (where applicable).
Students are supported through their studies via a tutor, typically in small groups of 12, who meet daily. They are also invited to weekly lectures from interesting and thought-provoking external speakers ranging from a Holocaust survivor to hypnotist Martin Taylor.
Sixth Form Facilities
The Hymers College campus is like no other in Hull. Students can benefit from the fitness suite, swimming pool, theatre, tennis courts and modern-spec all-weather astro pitch, all set in a beautiful historic site just 10 minutes from the city centre.
The campus also benefits from a dedicated Art and Design Centre, a state-of-the-art Learning Resource Centre with access to the latest technology and a Music Centre boasting a recording studio and band room and hosting over 400 lessons a week on strings, woodwind, brass, percussion, guitar, piano and voice.
Sixth Form students also have their own dedicated centre with their own Junior Common Room, dining facilities, computer suites, study areas and socialising hubs. Students are encouraged to use our Learning Resource Centre, which has areas for silent study and independent learning, a skill vital for university life and further education.
