Sixth Form Education
Facing the Future
Across our Sixth Forms we take great pride in students' futures, achievements and are constantly striving to ensure they benefit from outstanding teaching, personalised mentoring and highly supportive pastoral structures.
We are guided by the simple notion of guaranteeing academic excellence through both vocational and academic courses of study.
Choosing what and where to study for Sixth Form education is a huge decision, therefore making the right choice about Sixth Form education is imperative. Our varied Sixth Form provision offers Level 3 A level and BTEC courses in over 20 different specialist subjects.
Our academic offer, ethos and approach to learning provides our students with highly challenging and demanding programmes of study. We want all of our students to be able to make the most of their potential. Throughout our numerous sites, we offer a broadly based educational experience with our aim being to give students the skills, opportunities and qualifications needed to progress and develop a successful future.
Higher education is critical to developing specialised skills and learning the inner workings of chosen subjects. Continual support from dedicated and enthusiastic staff equips all our students for their futures in Higher Education or employment.
Students leave Sixth Form with not only good qualifications but as confident, independent young adults.
Key features of our Sixth Form provision include:
- Highly experienced Sixth Form teachers who strive for every student's success
- Clear aspirational programme of study for every student
- Close monitoring and tracking of individual student progress
- Focused Higher Education programmes to prepare individuals for university
- Opportunities for student leadership
- Focus on both academic and vocational pathways
- Ongoing targeted intervention and support
- Personalised mentoring to support individuals in their next step
- Vocational opportunities and work-based learning to provide valid and relevant work experience
- Regular communication and reporting sent home
Alongside offering academic and vocational studies, we also believe in the development of independent learning and transferable skills. Consequently, we offer a varied enrichment programme including work experience opportunities, mentoring and support for younger students and the chance to organise and oversee fundraising events, to name a few.
