Welcome

At Merchant Taylors’, our Sixth Form sits proudly at the heart of the School’s rich and varied life – yet it also offers something distinct.

Our Sixth Form is a place where boys complete their journey and further develop the values, ambitions and character that will guide them in life beyond school.

The opportunities here are exceptional and wide-ranging. Sixth Formers pursue scholarship at a deeper level, excel in concert halls, on sports fields and on the stage. They immerse themselves in charitable endeavours, leadership roles and mentoring the next generation. Leadership, service and excellence are lived experiences, not abstract ideals.

Each student’s Sixth Form journey is uniquely their own. With an increasing range of pathways and an ever more personalised experience, no two boys leave us with quite the same story. Our strong pastoral care and coaching culture ensure that every Sixth Former is supported to explore, to grow, and to take ownership of his future.

As our Upper Sixth leavers are presented with their OMT ties and step into the wider world, we hope they do so with confidence and curiosity – knowing they have shaped their own experience here and made their mark on the life of the School. We also look forward to welcoming them back in the years to come, as valued members of the Taylors’ community.

Michael Herring

Head of Upper School

“I’ve relished the opportunity to grow and to serve through leadership opportunities in the Sixth Form. Combined with the support of teachers and coaches, it has been a brilliant opportunity to learn and a real privilege to give back to the school."

Joining the Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form offers an exceptional environment for able, ambitious young men preparing for the next stage of their education and life. We encourage prospective students to begin the admissions process by visiting us in person and discovering what sets Merchant Taylors’ apart.

The best way to do this is through a personal visit. We are pleased to offer individual tours led by our current Sixth Formers and will do our best to match you with a student who shares your interests – offering you a genuine insight into Sixth Form life at Taylors’.

Alternatively, you are very welcome to attend one of our Open Mornings. These events offer the opportunity to meet the Head of Upper School and members of our staff, explore the School, and learn more about our distinctive Sixth Form experience.
