In 2011, the school suspended its sixth form provision due to falling numbers and would be reviewed in 2013. In February 2019, it was announced the school would be reopening its sixth form from September 2020 and will offer a range of A-Level courses. The decision to reopen was made due to demand from students and parents, its numbers having risen by more than 20% in the last 18 months, the introduction of boys to the senior school for the first time in September 2015, which made it the only fully mixed independent school in Guernsey, as well as its successful inspection report where it was rated 'excellent' by Independent Schools Inspectorate following its inspection in October 2018.
