George Salter Academy

Making decisions about your future is always difficult but is also key to future success. Salter Sixth is an established and distinctive part of George Salter Academy and is able to offer a unique experience for young people which combines the f lexibility and independence of a college education with the support, range of opportunities and continuity of a school sixth form. It provides a structured, stable and focussed approach to post-16 learning. Our Sixth Form deserves its excellent reputation and track record. The outstanding results which students have achieved with the dedicated support of exceptional staff, is testament to our motto “Success through Endeavour”. Students have a unique opportunity at Salter Sixth; they can study just A Levels, mix A Levels with BTEC/vocational qualifications. There really is a lot of variety on offer, which we believe enables students to create a programme of study that they will not only enjoy, but is unique to them. We are able to offer students contemporary, purpose- designed accommodation with specialist classrooms. We offer outstanding teaching from a team of highly-qualified teachers with a proven track record of success, many of whom are also examiners. Our Sixth Form support team are skilled and experienced in areas such as university application through UCAS, applications to Russell Group universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, preparation for employment and training opportunities. Universities, training institutions and employers look very favourably upon students who have taken the opportunity to challenge themselves and expand both their knowledge and experiences, and we offer a full range of opportunities to address this. Enrichment opportunities include the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and leadership qualifications as well as university-based masterclasses. Equally, we offer numerous opportunities for students to take part in our extensive electives programme which includes work experience, the Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE), charity fundraising, drama and sport to name just a few. We look forward to meeting you and discussing how Salter Sixth can help you achieve your goals. Mrs Bellingham, Head of School
