Students in the sixth form make an outstanding contribution to the life of the school. The Ecclesbourne School Sixth Form recognises that enrichment activities are fundamental to the holistic development of young people. All Sixth Formers become Prefects and are expected to carry out important duties. There are also elected positions for the Head Boys and Head Girls, House captains and Student Council. Below are some views from our students about the enrichment programme:
"Peer Mentors helped me to relax and make friends in my new form."
