Discover Sixth Form at The Priory School
A wider choice of subjects, new opportunities and a supportive post-16 community.
The Hitchin Schools Consortium
At The Priory School Sixth Form, we are part of the Hitchin Schools Consortium which includes Hitchin Girls’ School and Hitchin Boys’ School. This arrangement allows a wider range of subjects and option combinations and therefore presents a Priory Sixth Former with the very best choices for their future development.
Learning away from your home school encourages collaboration, new friends and the opportunity to broaden your world view by working with a range of different teachers. Full support is given to each student through the respective school pastoral departments to help the settling-in process, and free transport is provided between school sites.
