Tadcaster Grammar School has a large and thriving Sixth Form where many students choose to enrol to extend their studies post-16. Students in the Sixth Form have their own designated tutors during tutor time, to provide individual mentoring as well as delivering careers advice, Personal Social Health Education (PSHE)and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Education (SMSC) activities.They are also encouraged to support younger students by acting as mentors and fulfilling leadership roles. The Sixth Form has a designated suite of rooms in the Sixth Form building for private study, with both classrooms and IT suites to further advance their studies. As well as specialist tutors, Sixth Form students are supported by the Director of Sixth Form, Pastoral Lead for Sixth Form and a Careers Manager.
