This is what they have to say:“This is a place where you are treated like an adult and fully independent, whilst having the much needed support system”“I’m very glad I chose to move from my original school- I’ve really enjoyed it here :)”“I think this sixth form offers the best opportunities a student could ask for. Ultimately the support offered here is great… and Form tutors provide excellent services. Heart of England offers an all round student experience.”“Absolutely loved every second of it.” Choosing Sixth FormIn year 11 you will be making important choices about your future education and training.
