We understand that the success of a student does not always just come down to academic outcomes. Students' personal development and the experiences they gain are just as important as the hard work they put into their studies. This is key to being a Lipson student. By the time students leave Lipson, we want them to be well-rounded individuals who are confident in applying the skills and experiences they have learnt into everyday life. We recognise that every student has their own individual pathway and we want to be able to offer something to every student that will support them on that journey, which is why our offer of personal development and enrichment opportunities is so vast. On the current curriculum students will have access to:

iStudy - All sixth form students are expected to undertake independent study as part of their A Level courses.

We place a great deal of importance on Independent study, with current research showing that this has a great impact on students outcomes.

Exam Ready Room - Students will also have access to the Exam Ready Room. This allows students timetabled space to develop and hone their examination practise across their Sixth Form Journey to help them prepare and secure the best outcomes possible by the end of Year 13.

Study Skills Tutor Program - All students access our specialist study skills program, which teaches students new skills on how to secure knowledge, revise and study.
