Welcome to Fearnhill School

Fearnhill Sixth Form students are enthusiastic, determined and happy, and they leave our Sixth Form as versatile young adults eager to take their place in, and contribute to, society. 

Sixth Form is a fantastic stepping stone for any student’s future. Our students develop study skills and gain opportunities for personal development, within the stability of a school structure, building their confidence, resilience and aspirations. 

Obtaining excellent qualifications is fundamental to Sixth Form life, but at Fearnhill this is balanced with the aim of developing essential personal qualities. Our students are involved in sport and performing arts, as well as giving back to our school and local community, which equips them with leadership skills needed for the future. This experience takes place in a nurturing and supportive environment where we guide students to be the best version of themselves, as learners and individuals. 

As a member of Fearnhill Sixth Form, you will be encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity, to read around your studies and to challenge theoretical ideas. These essential study skills, alongside time management and organisation, are the qualities that lead to the success of our Fearnhill Sixth Form students. 

Alongside The Highfield Sixth Form, we offer an wide range of stimulating and dynamic subjects which allows you to pursue your passions, and facilitates entry to the highest quality universities and apprenticeship schemes. We offer the Extended Project Qualification which stretches and challenges students and is a wonderful preparation for future independent study, plus Core Maths, an additional Level 3 qualification which supports the practical use of mathematics. 

In Fearnhill Sixth Form you will have fun, work hard and make lifelong friendships. In joining us, you will become part of our Fearnhill Family, in which everyone settles quickly and where there is a shared desire to succeed, and to help and support others. I look forward to receiving your applications to our Sixth Form. 

Mr Thomas Marlow, Director of Sixth Form
