Welcome Message
SFH6 is the joint sixth form of Sydenham School and Forest Hill School. It is a dynamic and forward-looking Sixth Form with very high standards. We believe in the rights of all young people to achieve at the highest possible level and we encourage our students to be aspirational and to take responsibility for their own learning.
We value drive, energy and ambition. We expect our students to be motivated, focused and willing to contribute at school, in the community and beyond. We support our students to become well-balanced young people who make good decisions and respond to change with confidence and optimism. We offer a broad curriculum comprising a wide range of A Level subjects, Level 3 BTEC courses and a small number of Level 2 courses alongside excellent pastoral support and enrichment opportunities.
All Year 11 students attending the Forest Hill and Sydenham Schools are able to apply for places at SFH6. In addition, we reserve a number of places for students from other schools. Further details of how to apply for a place at SFH6 are available on the link on this website and from the SFH6 website.
