Welcome to Christ The King Catholic High School and Sixth Form Centre

We are a Sixth Form who cares for our students both academically and personally. We have everything you need to be everything you want to be. At Christ the King Sixth Form Centre not only do we believe in giving our students the very best chance of academic success, but also in preparing young people for life beyond Sixth Form. The pathway from GCSE to University, further training or employment is challenging, exciting and at times very demanding. We place great emphasis on ensuring our students are developing a skill set that they can apply in ‘real world’ settings. A large percentage of the students who study with us have been with us since Year 7 which is testament to the dedication and quality of the provision we offer. However we welcome students from local schools and beyond each year into Year 12, who quickly become important and valued members of the Christ the King community. Our induction programme ensures that external students quickly settle in and make bonds and friendships that last a lifetime.CTK6 is a thriving environment with many opportunities for young people to develop, nurture and master themselves as accomplished young learners who are prepared for the world of higher education and employment. We aim to inspire students and achieve excellenceStudents flourish in our supportive Sixth Form environment, we offer a personalised approach to each and every student. Our small class sizes and expert teachers mean that you will receive high quality and tailored lessons to meet your needs and push you academically. We offer both academic and vocational qualifications, this allows us to offer you a bespoke curriculum that meets your needs and future aspirations. We are committed to this journey with each and every Sixth Form student.We are proud of our Sixth Form and our students. Thank you for taking the time to consider us as your Sixth Form provision. We look forward to welcoming you through our doors in September 2023.Miss CunninghamDirector of Sixth Form Mr LawsonAssistant Director of Sixth Form
