Welcome to Hartismere School

Hartismere Sixth Form College welcomes students from all over Suffolk and Norfolk, as well as our own Hartismere students: all benefit from the same care and support that makes ours an outstanding school and sixth form. Hartismere has grown enormously in the last few years and it is a pleasure to work in a college which sends happy, well rounded young people to university and into the world of work. Our students achieve excellent academic qualifications and develop a commitment to work and their community that means they have the best possible preparation for life after sixth form. Our university students achieve extraordinary success and enjoy returning to Hartismere to share their experiences and achievements. Indeed, employers actively seek out Hartismere graduates as potential recruits.Students can choose from a wide range of A level subjects; they can also develop their academic experience through the Extended Project Qualification as well as a varied programme of cultural enrichment. Hartismere offers its students experienced and committed staff and a fantastic environment and resources, including a purpose built sixth form reading room. We expect our students to be hard-working, to want to achieve success and show a commitment to the wider life of the sixth form and school community. Our open evening gives prospective students and their parents an opportunity to see the sixth form, the school and to meet the staff. Visits at other times can always be accommodated. Hartismere Sixth Form College is a happy, vibrant place and we look forward to your joining our family. Jayne HudsonDirector of Sixth Form
