Option Blocks

GCSE Re-sits

In line with national requirements and Redhill Trust expectations, students who have not yet achieved a grade 4 in GCSE English and/or Maths continue to study these subjects as part of their Sixth Form programme. Resit provision is delivered alongside A Level study and is closely monitored to ensure strong attendance, engagement, and progress.

This option includes a November and summer exam entry and the opportunity to attend either timetabled lessons, lower school lessons or study via the curriculum enhancement model.

At Tupton Hall Sixth Form, we believe one of our greatest strengths is recognising that education is about far more than the subjects you choose to study. We are committed to supporting your development as a confident, independent and well‑rounded individual, fully prepared for the next stage of your life. Through opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, you will gain meaningful experiences you can clearly demonstrate to future employers or universities. These experiences help to develop key employability skills, broaden your horizons and set you apart.

Post-16 PHSE

As part of the Redhill Trust’s commitment to personal development and student wellbeing, Sixth Form students follow a structured PHSE programme delivered through tutor time and enrichment. This programme supports physical wellbeing, mental health, relationships, citizenship, and preparation for adult life, including opportunities for physical activity and healthy lifestyles.

The programme complements academic study by developing resilience, independence, and informed decision‑making, ensuring students are well prepared for life beyond Sixth Form.
