Extension Studies
Enrichment is an important part of life at Esher Sixth Form College. All students will take at least one Extension Study course each year.
You can put down up to six Extension Study options during the online enrolment process. Please make sure you are happy with all of your six choices as you are likely to be allocated one of them. If you wish to be considered for a sports team, you must put that team as your first option.
Long or short course?
You can either do one long course or two short courses in your first year. Some of our courses such as membership of a sports team or Duke of Edinburgh are considered ‘long courses’ and will last up until Easter. If you choose a short course, these only last one term and you will need to choose another short course at changeover time in January, which you will follow until Easter.
Build Your Own Programme
In your second term you can also add another Extension Study or an Excellence Pathway to your timetable and build a bespoke enrichment programme that suits your interests and aspirations.
For example;
- Thinking about a career in Law?
Critical Thinking + Law Pathway + Oxbridge Support Programme - Thinking about a career in STEM?
Robotics + Physical Sciences Challenge - Interested in Medicine?
EPQ + Medics, Vets and Dentists Programme - Interested in sustainability?
Gold CREST Award + Natural Sciences Challenge
