Having appeared on national Breakfast TV and on local radio Lucy stated that she, "wasn't expecting
such an exciting find as one of my firsts, and I don't think I will ever beat the feeling of seeing the coins
pecking out of the dirt in the pot." Lucy was also keen to thank SUA6 for its unwavering support and
guidance on her next steps. Lucy opted to study history, psychology and then, the new politics course
for her A Levels and all have had an impact on her current success.


Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Oftentimes, the workload of A-Level studies can be stressful. However, at SUA6 we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance; your mental health is just as important as your physical health. That is why every single one of our students will get at least one hour a week on their timetable to participate in a ‘wellbeing’ session.

SUA6 Football
Open to Post-16 students of all abilities and is not gender-specific. The sixth form programme also includes the creation of a football team for both male and female students, who will be given the chance to represent the academy in an external league, with regular matches to help develop match fitness, touch and confidence.
Arts & Design
Unwind by taking part in the art session. Drawing, colouring & origami are all on offer as a creative option for you to explore.
Dance
Exercise in style with our dance session. Whether you’re alone or in a group, you can take control of the creative process and choreograph your own dance piece from start to finish in these student-driven sessions.
