Welcome to Whitmore High School

Whitmore’s Sixth Form is extremely popular and highly successful, with students achieving very high standards. Along with the rest of the school, our Sixth Form was judged Outstanding by our last Ofsted inspection. We offer a wide range of courses – over 30 A levels are available, as well as Level 3 BTEC awards in Sport and Health & Social Care.The breadth of courses we offer is greatly enhanced by our membership of the Harrow Sixth Form Collegiate: we work in partnership with local high schools and colleges to ensure that all our sixth formers can follow their desired pathway.Our school’s ethos of high expectations and individual care and support continues into Sixth Form. In addition to outstanding teaching and learning, our Sixth Formers enjoy a wide range of trips and activities and are expected to carry out leadership roles in the school and local community. This is reinforced by a rigorous pastoral programme, developing further the spiritual, moral, social and cultural education which students receive all the way through their time at Whitmore High School.
