Welcome to Carlton Academy
At The Carlton Academy Sixth Form our aim is to enable our students to fulfil their academic potential. Whilst we emphasise the importance of academic achievement, we also strive to support students in becoming independent, responsible members of their community. We provide extensive extracurricular opportunities and a dedicated programme focused on personal, social and emotional development. Our PSHE programme provides ongoing support for students in preparation for adulthood whether this be in employment, in seeking an apprenticeship or applying for University.
High expectations combined with the dedicated support of specialist tutors, teachers and careers advisers ensure that students, whatever their individual needs, can develop self-confidence, fulfil their potential and realise their aspirations.
If you would like any further information, help or advice about the Sixth Form or the study programmes we offer, please do not hesitate to contact us.

University
I will always be grateful to all my teachers, and particularly the history department for all their support which went above and beyond to tailor to my needs. This same personal support is offered to everyone, whether they’re looking to progress onto higher education or not which is what, in my opinion, make The Carlton Academy Sixth Form special.

University
The dedication of the Sixth Form staff in ensuring I was prepared, calm and assured during my application is something I will cherish. Without The Carlton Academy Sixth Form, and their vital support, I would never have thought I would be going to the same college I once toured as a hopeful Oxford student.
