More than just a sixth form

King David High School’s outstanding sixth form has continued to go from strength to strength.

The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum and a highly skilled and experienced teaching staff to deliver it.

A dedicated sixth form pastoral team not only ensure that there are always high academic expectations, but that “care and support for students’ well-being is of the highest order. It results in students who are interested in the world around them, have high personal aspirations and have high levels of self-confidence”. (Ofsted)

Dr Dale (head of Sixth Form), said: “We strike a strong and appropriate balance here between high academic standards, personalised pastoral support and a diverse enrichment programme”.

Indeed the strength of the enrichment offer at King David was evident in the Year 12s” recent trip to the Liverpool Mathematical Society Lecture on Enigma and The Secret World of Codes and Codebreaking.

The speaker, Dr James Grime, provided a brief history of codes and code breaking, introducing the audience to the Caesar Shift and General Substitution Ciphers.

He then explained how a combination of logic and mathematical methods can be used to break codes.
