Preparing students for higher education and beyond.
Our Sixth Form offers a broad range of A-Level and vocational courses, combined with enrichment opportunities, leadership programmes, and personal development. We aim to prepare students for higher education, apprenticeships, and future careers.
Before you start Year 12, you’ll complete a short bridging project for each of your subjects over the summer, alongside our Sixth Form expectations and dress code.

We want every student to get the right advice at the right time, whatever their background. Our careers programme follows the Gatsby Benchmarks, with support for university applications, apprenticeships and work experience.
Our in-school careers advisor, Giselle Douglas, is here to help you plan your next steps.
Towards the end of Year 12 we explain the different routes and how UCAS works. In Year 13 we monitor every application, write individual references, arrange interview practice and run sessions on student finance, plus an information evening for parents.
Virtual University Talks ↗All Year 12 students are encouraged to spend a week on work experience. You find your own placement (with help from home if needed), arrange your own travel and lunch, and keep a log of the week. A member of staff will check in with your employer, who writes a short report at the end.
