8. Preparation for University life
We are a school sixth form based on four schools. But the scale of LaSWAP gives us a ‘university campus’ feel. Each school is small enough to give you the pastoral tutor care you expect, while LaSWAP is big enough to give you some of the independence associated with being at university. -

There’s no better way to prepare for employment and university, than getting involved in a range of enrichment activities, from sports to music, tabletop roleplay to debating. You will be able to mix with students across LaSWAP both in school and out of school. We offer trips at home and abroad, and an extensive work experience programme. -

We are the sixth form that prides ourselves on our excellent destinations. No matter where you want to go and what you want to do, there is no better place to be than LaSWAP.
