Welcome to The Quest Academy
A Warm Welcome to the Quest6, the Sixth Form at Croydon’s Quest Academy Our motto, Learning Changes Lives, reflects our belief in the importance of our work. We are committed to making sure that every student makes outstanding progress. We have high expectations of everyone, offer the best quality teaching and insist on the highest standards of behaviour and respect. Students at Quest6 Sixth Form have excelled themselves across the range of courses that we have on offer. Since opening, students have achieved excellent results at A Level (see Results page) and almost every Sixth Form student has gone on to further study (see Destinations page). In addition to academic excellence, Quest6 is a positive, rich and innovative learning environment where every student can achieve excellence in all that they do, in the classroom and beyond it. We offer a wide range of enrichment activities to extend learning in a range of contexts and promote leadership, teamwork, reflection, confidence and high self-esteem. Students at Quest6 have access to cutting-edge, state-of-the-art facilities that – for at least the foreseeable future – are arguably the best that Greater London has to offer. A dedicated social study area, seminar-style teaching rooms, brand new technology as well as access to all of Quest’s new buildings ensure that current and future Quest6 students will learn in a modern, peaceful, exceptional education environment. Our strength comes from strong partnerships: with our parents, the community we serve and the close links that we have with our sponsor. We bring together and harness our extensive experience and expertise to everybody’s benefit. Our prospectus gives you a brief insight into our ethos and our work. We look forward to welcoming you to Quest6. Mr Andy Crofts Executive Principal
