Sixth Form Handbook
Starting off on the path to success...
Stepping into Sixth Form at Gumley House FCJ marks the beginning of an extraordinary chapter - one filled with ambition, independence, challenge, and opportunity. Our Sixth Form is a community rooted in the FCJ values of Excellence, Companionship, Dignity, Hope, Justice and Gentleness, and this handbook captures how those values shape every aspect of life here.
Across these pages, you’ll find a Sixth Form designed to help each young person grow into their best self. From academic excellence and critical thinking to wellbeing, leadership, global citizenship and preparation for university or apprenticeships, our provision is intentionally crafted to support students as they mature into confident, capable and compassionate young adults.
The handbook also showcases the people who will guide students through this journey - a dedicated team committed to high expectations, pastoral care, and personalised support. It outlines the routines, standards and opportunities that define Gumley Sixth Form: purposeful study, supervised learning, enrichment, careers guidance, early‑entry pathways, and the vibrant culture that makes our community so special.
Whether you are joining Year 12 or continuing into Year 13, this handbook is your springboard. It sets out what you can expect from us - and what we expect from you - as you take ownership of your learning, your future, and the person you are becoming.
Welcome to Gumley Sixth Form.
Welcome to life in all its fullness.
