Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form provides a stepping stone between school and university and prepares you for further study or employment.

We offer a distinctive learning experience for students in our Sixth Form across our wide range of A Level programmes.

We base our A Level programmes on facilitating and stimulating subjects, ensuring students have the skills and knowledge which are in demand by universities and employers. This, as well as our wrap-around support for our students, has led many of them to secure places at a range of Russell Group universities and prosperous careers.
