Our well-established Sixth Form has capacity for 180 students, attracting high calibre external students alongside our own Year 11s.  Our light and airy modern purpose built sixth form block boasts large open plan spaces conducive to study.

Our students achieve outstanding academic results with over 90% going on to study at university and over a third enrolling  in Russell Group universities.  The 2024 cohort are now studying a huge range of courses, including  History at Cambridge, Engineering at Oxford, Finance at Exeter, Marine Zoology at Newcastle, Business Management at Swansea and Biomedical Sciences at Brunel.   We are equally proud of our students who have been successful in gaining apprenticeship places at blue-chip companies such as Goldman Sachs.

The Sixth Form is split into small mentor groups who meet daily with their tutor for Personal Development Time, and  weekly as a whole year group to partake in our Super Curricular Programme.  Through these sessions, students benefit from financial education, careers guidance, topical debate, character and cultural education, enrichment opportunities, and  debate in PSHE & Ethics.  

Our dedicated careers and progression lead offers our students information, guidance and support  in choosing and applying for university, apprenticeships and employment.  

We run a varied enrichment programme encompassing sports, debate, journalism, STEM, Theatre/LAMDA, robotics, economics, volunteer work in the local community and even knitting!  

On a daily basis I am heartened by the enthusiastic and committed approach to Sixth Form life by our students and delighted to be leading a dedicated team of staff and governors who continually work on ensuring outstanding outcomes for our Sixth Form students.
