Beyond Churston
Leaving Churston is not an ending - it is a beginning. We prepare our students for a world that demands resilience, creativity, and the capacity to keep learning.
We prepare students for the world, not just exams.
Exam results matter - and at Churston, our results are exceptional. But results alone don't secure a place at a great university, land an apprenticeship, or launch a career. What sets our students apart is the preparation that sits alongside the academic work: understanding their options early, building a profile that reflects who they really are, and approaching applications with clarity and confidence. Our Sixth Form team works with every student individually to map out their next steps, whatever form those steps take.
How we help you get there
Aiming high means something different to every student. Our careers and futures programmes are built directly into the Sixth Form experience so that nobody has to navigate their next steps alone.
Dedicated UCAS support formally begins in Year 12
We guide students through personal statement drafting, reference preparation, and interview techniques.
With you for Oxbridge & elite preparation
For students aiming for highly competitive universities, we provide specialist preparation, including mock interviews, extended reading guidance, and admissions test support.
Getting the right support for degree apprenticeships
University is not the only outstanding next step. We support students exploring degree apprenticeships and school leaver programmes with the exact same rigour as UCAS applications.
Thinking about a future with careers and CEIAG
Careers guidance is an integral part of life here. Students have access to individual career appointments, employer networking events, and direct industry advice.
A community that stays with you
Leaving school does not mean leaving our community. Churston Together is the community-facing heart of our school, connecting current students with alumni, local businesses, and charities. Through this active network, former students and local partners return to help our young people take their next steps with confidence, offering mentorship, industry insights, and real-world opportunities.
