Progression
At TB6, you will be supported to fulfil your career goals and aspirations, including intense support for students who aspire to apply for competitive courses such as medicine or dentistry, places at Oxbridge or with leading companies such as GCHQ, KPMG or BAE Systems.
We will endeavour to balance the rigour of carefully crafted examination preparation with the development of research skills and the ability to debate, communicate confidently, solve problems and think both critically and creatively. These skills have inherent, lifelong value and universities often favour candidates who can demonstrate these attributes.
