Welcome from the Sixth Form Team

We are thrilled that you are considering our Sixth Form for the next stage of your educational journey. Our school provides an exceptional environment for learning, with a dedicated team of experienced teachers, a comprehensive programme designed to foster both academic achievement and personal growth.

At the heart of our approach to teaching and learning is a commitment to nurturing independent study, fostering deep and creative thinking, and encouraging students to meet the highest standards. In a supportive atmosphere built on mutual respect between staff and students, our Sixth Formers excel academically and develop the skills and confidence needed for success in higher education or the workforce.

We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of educational opportunities tailored to each student’s unique interests, strengths, and ambitions. Beyond academics, our Sixth Form is a vibrant and dynamic community where students take on leadership roles, serve as role models for younger peers, and contribute actively to the wider community in a culture of opportunity and responsibility.

These two years promise to be an exciting and transformative chapter in your life, filled with new friendships, knowledge, skills, and values. Our goal is to make this time both memorable and enjoyable while helping you prepare for the important decisions that will shape your future. We are dedicated to providing the perfect balance of challenge and support in a trusting and focused learning environment.

This is a truly special place to learn and grow, and we cannot wait to welcome the class of 2025 in September.
