Sixth Form Life

Being in the Sixth Form means much more than just academic studies. We have high expectations of Sixth Formers as being excellent role models for younger students. Being in the Sixth Form means a considerable amount of both give and take.

Sixth Formers:

• have their own Citzenship programme, so that they have a clear pathway mapped out for their future .
• work with younger children with learning difficulties
• act as Prefects, including Head Boy and Head Girl.
• are involved in summer Play Schemes
• work with the physically and mentally disabled
• help at school events

Our pass rate at A Level is well over 95% and both our BTEC First Diploma and National Diploma courses are well above national averages.

The majority of our Sixth Form students go on to higher education and we have built close links with colleges at both Oxford and Cambridge over the past years.

In the Sixth Form the school has three sporting academis; Basketball, Football and Dance. Students who have talent in these areas can continue to develop their skills whilst following and academic programme of study.

Many of our academy students go on to Higher Education continuing their sport at high level whilst studying for a degree.
