Welcome to Gospel Oak School
Sixth form will allow you to develop your independence while also being part of the nurturing environment of the school. You will receive extensive careers advice to help you with your next steps, whether that is university or employment.Our school motto is Respect, Pride, Aspire. We are very passionate about being an inclusive sixth form promoting and valuing respect and acceptance in our diverse community. Our sixth formers are supported in all aspects of academic and pastoral life and in fulfilling their extra-curricular interests.The sixth form study programme consists of 3 A-Level or level 3 BTEC qualifications, Work Experience and the Gospel Oak Distinctiveness Programme. The Distinctiveness Programme aims to develop opportunities for students to give something back by being active members of the school and wider community. This may be through volunteering or developing a physical or creative skill to pass on to others. As part of this, the Duke of Edinburgh Award is offered along with the opportunity to be part of the Combined Cadet Force, various sports teams and performing arts opportunities.All A-Level and Level 3 BTEC courses are taught by subject specialists who are all extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their respective subjects and careers that these subjects lead on to.The combination of academic and personal development opportunities ensures our students leave us at the end of year 13 with clear direction for their post 18 pathways and the skill set to be successful. We drive to instil the belief in our students that there is no limit to what they can achieve and what future careers they can pursue. We want everyone to be the very best they can be!Mr Bala Head of Sixth Form
