Sixth Form Life
Welcome
We would like to wish a very warm welcome to all students, and their parents and carers, who have chosen to pursue their sixth form studies here at Colyton.
Our sixth formers have established a long tradition of success at A-Level and in going on to highly aspirational futures beyond school. We believe strongly in the importance of a supportive & friendly environment as a basis for this success and think it important that we share with you our aims and values as a sixth form.
Life in the Sixth Form at Colyton Grammar School
Year 12 and year 13 both have designated common rooms, located in the Sixth Form Study Centre and Sindalls Building. This area allows students to work with others. Within the Sixth Form Study Centre there is a newly equipped café (2020), which is for sixth form use only.

Sixth Form Library
The Library is fully accessible for sixth form students, with a dedicated silent sixth form only study room. The Library has a flexible environment that supports silent study, quiet and comfortable reading, and class activities and lunchtime events.
It is well equipped with journals, books and online newspaper subscriptions. Our print collection consists of over 18,000 titles, including modern fiction, classic novels, subject materials, and a careers library.
We subscribe to a wide range of specialist journals and magazines, including GCSE and A Level Reviews, the New Scientist, BBC Music, History Today, and daily newspapers (funded by the CGS Parents Association). Our digital subscriptions include JSTOR, which is a digital library of articles, books, and primary sources, and a growing collection of ebooks and specialist material to support all areas of learning.
You will find all the details through the library’s online catalogue, which is also available as an Library App.
Mrs Cox, our Librarian is available to support students through researching, referencing and exploring academic databases. We provide support and guidance on research and referencing skills for sixth form and EPQ students.
