Welcome to Highworth Grammar School
Highworth values Sixth Form students and recognises the vital role they play in the life of the school. We also recognise how important it is for individual talents and needs to be met so that students prosper and flourish in an intellectually challenging yet supportive environment. As Ofsted note, this allows our students to ‘make rapid and sustained progress’. We aim to encourage students to develop a personal and independent approach to learning that will enrich their lives, whether they choose to go on to Higher Education or to find employment. Highworth Sixth Form is a great place to be. Students thrive academically and enjoy the day-to-day challenges and opportunities the school offers. We hope that you are inspired to choose Highworth for your post-16 education and look forward to welcoming you to what we are confident will be the most exhilarating period of school life.Mr D House, Head of Sixth Form
