Beyond the Classroom We recognise that the journey to become successful adults is made not just in the classroom and we value the contribution our sixth form students make to school life; indeed, we expect our sixth formers to be positive role models for younger students. To this end there are a diverse range of extra-curricular opportunities available to you as part of West Coventry Academy Sixth Form including membership of various sports teams, charity fund raising and volunteering in the community.
