Students are presented with work that challenges, stretches and excites them on a daily basis, in an environment that celebrates achievement and excellence of all young people. As an integral part of our inclusion programme we endeavour to actively cater to the needs of our More Able and Ambitious students. The students identied as More Able and Ambitious are those who achieved the most success in their GCSEs or have shown a particular air for a specic subject or subjects in their KS5 studies. Alongside these achievements, the wonderful array of talents displayed by our athletes, leaders, artists, musicians and performers is testament to The MFG Sixth Forms culture of nurturing ambition. To help these students secure places at leading universities, a programme of activities and opportunities is delivered to widen their experiences, enhance their skills and deepen their knowledge.
Some of the highlights for our most able students have involved: working with lecturers and students at Leeds University to develop skills when delivering presentations; speaking in public and debating; a one-day visit to Auschwitz organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust; the chance to study for the Extended Project Qualication (EPQ) to deepen their learning in an area of special academic interest, problem solve and enhance their ability to critically reect on their progress; participation in The MFG Sports Leadership Academy and the Young Ambassadors Leadership Programme; taking part in the Bragg about Science event hosted at Hudderseld University; attendance to careers workshops in areas of personal interest; master class experiences with theatre groups; and support and advice for applications to summer schools at the countrys leading universities. This, however, only touches upon the many opportunities that we offer all our students in our goal to help them to achieve everything to which they aspire.
Providing students with the support, guidance and resources they need to be successful is essential to our team.

Futures Created...
What ever you want to do...where ever you want to go... Sixth Form at The Mireld Free Grammar will inspire, support, guide and prepare you for your future. Choosing the place you want to study, with the courses that suit your passions, your study needs and future aspirations, is essential. Sixth Form at The MFG fullled my every need. It has amazing resources with up-to-date technology, outstanding teaching and learning, and tailor-made courses, all based in excellent Sixth Form facilities. But it was so much more than that. The specialist teachers and Sixth Form Team were my inspiration. They helped me build the skills I now use condently every day for the different challenges I face, and these skills have enabled me to achieve the exciting, diverse and wonderful things I have accomplished.
skills and experience, and I was able to give evidence of everything I had already achieved at The MFG. Showing that I had gone the extra mile beyond my studies really enabled my application to stand out. I visited several university open days, both locally and further aeld, and found that speaking to students and staff, and having the opportunity to look around, was extremely important; just like when I picked Sixth Form. To prepare me for my rst choice interview at Rose Bruford College - Londons International Drama School my Drama teachers spent time with me, discussing what to expect, audition and interview techniques, and how to best demonstrate and highlight my skills, performances and production talents. It helped that I had already completed a range of experiences, including work shadowing at Leeds Grand Opera North, as the Assistant Stage Manager of a professional production of Carmen.
The Mireld Free Grammar will inspire, support, guide and prepare you for your future.
Following your passions and studying subjects you are interested in are denitely the keys to achievement. Making the decision to follow my passions led me to be successful in Media, English Language and Theatre Studies, leaving in 2008 with grades B, C, C. Although I was proud of my grades, when composing my application to university I realised how important it was to show that I was not just a grade. Throughout Sixth Form I had built my personal 52

...Chloe Brown
After being successful at interview and gaining the grades I needed, I graduated my three year course in Stage Management with 1st Class BA Hons. During my time at university I was able to apply the theory I was learning to practical situations through a position I earned as Assistant Stage Manager at the Soho Theatre in Central London, with a professional theatre company. At university I gained a whole new range of skills and opportunities, from meeting new contacts and connections, to gaining condence and experience in leading a variety of complex situations. After leaving Rose Bruford, my rst job was on feature period drama The Rochdale Pioneers (which aired on Film4 in November 2012), where I embarked on the role of Line Producer. Working on location in Manchester, all the skills and experience I had gained through Sixth Form, university and theatre were challenged to the limit as I oversaw the whole process and production. This included sourcing locations, holding auditions, working on script development, logistics, schedule production, crew and budget management. The accountability and responsibility were overwhelming but exciting, and overall it was a resounding success! Now I work in Central London for a PR company in their Events Department, producing and coordinating a range of different events including awards ceremonies, charity gala dinners exhibitions, conferences and promotional launches. I recently produced the press launch for the Revenge Wears Prada, the sequel novel to The Devil Wears Prada, with a fty-metre black carpet in Mayfair, London, where I arranged for Lisa Snowden to give away
a trip to New York for the best Stiletto Strutter. It was an event that took more coordinating and attention to detail than I could have imagined, but it was a huge success. Ive loved my journey to my dream job, which all started at, and was inspired by, The Mireld Free Grammar. Sixth Form gave me the foundations to be outstanding, resilient, resourceful, and condent, and to realise my overall aspiration to be myself and nd my challenge in life, so I could continue the success that started at The Mireld Free Grammar Sixth Form.

Case Studies.
Sixth Form at The MFG is challenging, inspiring, fun and, importantly, I have made friends for life. The specialist teachers are friendly and supportive, and they really push you to work hard and achieve the best you possibly can. In Sixth Form I have become a leader in the Young Ambassador School Sports programme. Here we work with primary school children, getting them involved in sport and learning how fun it can be. In this time I have also completed my UK Athletics Coach qualication. I am hoping to attend Shefeld Hallam University next year to study Sports Science and become a member of a professional sports team or a Sports Teacher. The MFG Sixth Form supports you in achieving your best and pursuing your future dreams.
Fayaz Lunat
My time at The MFG has been really enjoyable. I have found my Chemistry, Biology and IT courses challenging and fascinating, and hope to pursue a career in Pharmacy after attending university. My Science teachers have always been really encouraging, and are always willing to go the extra mile if you ever need any support. One piece of advice I would denitely recommend is, if you ever feel stuck, just ask! There is always someone willing to help you out. The MFG Sixth Form encourages you to get involved in extra-curricular trips and activities that will help you decide what you want to do in the future. Attending Leeds UCAS event with Sixth Form inspired me to apply for university, and now I am receiving support from my form tutor in making my application and writing my personal statement to achieve this goal. The teachers and tutors at The MFG have supported me throughout my A Levels and are now helping me decide my future.
Leah Wood
I would denitely recommend studying at The MFG Sixth Form. I came here from a different school and I have found settling into life here easy. It was denitely the best decision I could make for my future ambitions. History is my passion and I have really enjoyed the A Level course. I want to continue studying History at degree level at one of the countrys Russell Group Universities and then hopefully complete a Law conversion course. The MFG Sixth Form has provided me with excellent opportunities to pursue this dream as my teachers encouraged me to become involved in the Pathways to Law programme, which is run by the
