Welcome to Shoreham Academy Sixth Form
An ambitious and inclusive Sixth Form
Welcome to Shoreham Academy Sixth Form. We are an ambitious and inclusive Sixth Form of over 300 students serving Shoreham Academy pupils as well as those from other local schools. Across the Sixth Form we share a culture of high aspiration, continuous improvement and independent learning. Our students are supported as individuals throughout their time in college to achieve their potential and exceed their own expectations of themselves.
Many of our students have gone on to accept places at world-leading universities including Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, St Andrew’s, Imperial College, UCL, King's College, and LSE. This has been achievable through the foundation of outstanding teaching students receive at Shoreham Sixth Form, as well as our ethos of ambition and hard work within a supportive learning community.
Education with Character
Shoreham Sixth Form students also thrive in our Education with Character curriculum. This pushes young people to study their courses in greater depth, to discover new talents and interests; to develop leadership and teamwork skills, and to develop their employability through enriching experiences. This includes a fantastic work experience opportunity where placements are sought and selected that best suit the individual student’s ambition. Our students can also take part in a range of sport and academic societies which help them further their studies as well as develop leadership skills and meet new people. Finally, we offer Duke of Edinburgh qualifications as well as our football, gym, and dance performance academies.
Sense of purpose
At Shoreham Sixth Form we share a clear and ambitious sense of purpose which enables staff and students to create a learning environment that produces truly exceptional success. The core of our ethos is to treat all students as the unique individuals that they are and so provide bespoke education and guidance as they make some of the most important and exciting decisions of their lives.

Apprenticeship
From the classroom to the open ocean, former Shoreham Academy student Charlie Cullen is charting an extraordinary course. Charlie studied at Shoreham Academy between 2011 and 2018, before leaving sixth form to pursue an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering with a local company. While he thrived in the world of engineering, his heart was never far from the sea. Having grown up sailing and volunteering with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), Charlie had already developed the skills and determination that would later propel him into a professional maritime career. In 2024, Charlie took the bold step of turning his lifelong passion for sailing into a full-time career. His dedication quickly bore fruit: within just months of entering the industry, he was appointed First Mate in the world-famous Clipper Round the World Yacht Race — one of the most demanding endurance events on the planet. Working alongside Skipper Ella Hebron, Charlie will co-lead a diverse crew of amateur sailors aboard a 70-foot racing yacht. Together, they will face storms, swells, and extreme conditions as part of the 2025–26 race, a journey that will span 40,000 nautical miles, cross six oceans, and connect people across nearly every continent. The race begins on 31 August 2025 in Portsmouth, where a fleet of 10 identical yachts will set off on their epic circumnavigation. Over the following 11 months, crews will battle the wild Southern Ocean, the towering waves of the North Pacific, and the heat of the tropics — an experience that tests courage, resilience, and teamwork like no other.
