Bohunt sixth form in Liphook welcomed its largest ever crowd of prospective students and their parents to a “hands-on” open evening.

The college has now been fully operational for a year and with 100 per cent of EPQ (extended project qualification) students gaining an A*, as well as a large uptake of Gold D of E, “the future looks very bright”, according to its headteacher, Clare Hodgson.

Highlights at the open evening included a participative drama installation entitled “dangerous women”, opportunities to interact with a myriad of subject areas, including microscopy in biology, building Pis in computer science, philosophy, “come dine with me” and collaborative painting in art.

The event also showed off all 28 A-level subjects on offer, including the launch of an A-level in classical civilisation, which starts in September next year, and supplied visitors with information on the sixth form’s enrichment opportunities, plus its Aspire programme for students interested in applying to Oxbridge.

Bohunt sixth form offers four programmes of study that are tailored to the individual strengths and abilities of each student.

Mrs Hodgson told The Herald: “We are exceptionally proud of how the first year for our new sixth form has developed.

“Students are now fully benefiting from the high quality of learning and teaching available. It really is a unique and extraordinary place, providing everything that sixth form students will need to progress to leading universities.”

She highlighted the sixth form’s bespoke teaching facilities of small tutor groups, as well as enrichment opportunities and personalised programmes, support and pastoral care.

Students will also be able to participate in trips to Tanzania in East Africa next summer and Thailand in 2020, as well as join the boys and girls football clubs or a Yoga class.

Neil Strowger, the chief executive of Bohunt Education Trust (BET), who is also headteacher at Bohunt School, called the sixth form “small, but perfectly formed”.

He added: “Across all Bohunt Education Trust schools, our greatest assets are our students and Bohunt sixth form is no exception.

“We designed our new building and student experience for learning based on students’ needs and wants. 

“Bohunt School is one of the highest achieving non-selective state schools in the country and our sixth form continues in this vein, providing opportunities for students to develop the skills needed to succeed and flourish as 21st century global citizens.”
