We have over 25 different courses offered, ranging from traditional subjects such as Mathematics, Biology, English Literature to more vocational subjects such as Business and Creative Digital Media Production. Our students also participate in extracurricular activities such as Young Enterprise, Duke of Edinburgh, World Challenge, as well as attend lectures from a wide range of outside speakers and participate in sports and community projects. All sixth formers also benefit from a comprehensive careers programme including a 1:1 careers interview with an independent careers adviser.Our Sixth Form is a caring and friendly environment which aims to nurture and develop students’ potential and skills to support their future aspirations.
