Mrs Sophia Corpas
Head of Sixth Form
Head’s Welcome
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Fidelis Sixth Form. As Head of Sixth Form, I’m proud to lead a community where students aren’t just preparing for exams, they’re preparing for life.
Our Sixth Form is an ambitious and supportive environment where you will be encouraged to aim high while staying grounded. Whether you are aspiring to Oxbridge, a Russell Group university, a competitive apprenticeship, or a direct route into work, we provide the structure, guidance, and challenge to help you succeed. From academic mentoring to tailored university and careers preparation, we take your future seriously.
Our students achieve excellent results at A Level opening doors to top universities, apprenticeships, and specialist institutions. Fidelis pupils progress to a very wide range of universities and higher education institutes including Oxford, Cambridge, Russell Group universities, and highly selective apprenticeships. We are proud of these achievements and the paths our students take.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main entry points?
We welcome pupils at several key stages, including Early Years, 7+, 11+ and Sixth Form. Entry at other points may also be possible, subject to availability. Our admissions team will always take the time to talk through the most appropriate entry point for your child and advise on next steps.
Why choose Fidelis College for my child's education?
Families choose Fidelis because we combine high academic expectations with genuine personal care. We take the time to know each pupil as an individual and to support them academically, pastorally, and spiritually. Our aim is not simply exam success, but to help young people grow into confident, compassionate, and resilient individuals.
What kind of child thrives at Fidelis College?
There is no single “type” of Fidelis pupil. Our students are curious, kind, and willing to grow — whether they arrive confident and outgoing or quieter and still finding their voice. What matters most is a readiness to engage, to try, and to develop both character and intellect within a supportive community.
What does ‘character-first’ actually look like day to day?
Character is woven into everyday school life, not added on. Through tutor time, assemblies, service opportunities, and daily interactions, pupils are encouraged to show joy, courage, responsibility, and service. Staff model these values consistently, helping pupils develop strong habits, self-awareness, and respect for others.
How Catholic is the school?
Fidelis College is proudly Catholic, with faith and values at the heart of school life. Our ethos shapes how we care for pupils and treat one another. Catholic families are fully supported in their faith journey, and families of other faiths — or none — are warmly welcomed and respected. Our focus is on shared values, understanding, and community.
How involved are parents?
We see education as a partnership. Parents are kept well informed and are encouraged to engage with school life, whether through communication with tutors, attending events, or sharing insights that help us support their child. We value open dialogue and believe that strong relationships between home and school make a real difference.
