Admissions - Sixth Form

Welcome to our Sixth Form
 

Mrs Gadd, Director of Sixth Form

We are delighted that you have shown an interest in joining our increasingly popular Sixth Form. We offer high quality teaching, small class sizes, tailored mentoring programmes and staff who are committed to our students. Our school motto ‘Committed to Excellence’ is vital in the sixth form as our students continue their further studies, carry out work experience and apply for universities, apprenticeships or prepare for the world of work.

Students will be provided with opportunities and encouraged to play a role in the wider school community. We give responsibility to our older students to ensure they are positive role models for younger students and that they are prepared for life. Students will deliver assemblies for younger students, run clubs and activities, represent our school for open evenings and two students will be elected to be our school leaders. Students are challenged at every step to reach their full potential. Our school is not only driven by our passion for academic rigour, but also in developing our students’ life skills.

We are a specialist Sixth Form offering A Level subjects in the Sciences, Psychology, Maths, Further Maths, Economics, Computer Science, Business and BTEC in Applied Science. This specialism has ensured that our students benefit from small class sizes, personalised lessons, extra intervention sessions and more one to contact time with their teachers. This in turn has led to students making excellent progress in their courses. 

If you choose our Sixth Form for the next step on your academic journey, you will receive the highest level of academic and pastoral support in order to provide you with the springboard to future success.

Our admissions policy sets out how places are allocated to students wishing to attend the school. You can find more details here.
