Welcome to St Ivo Academy

It is my pleasure to welcome you to our prospectus for St Ivo Academy Sixth Form. The core aim of the academy is to help students to achieve their very best. For those of you about to embark on post-16 study, this means helping you to achieve at the highest standards in your chosen subjects and to prepare you for the next stage in your career, be it university, vocational training, apprenticeship or employment. Whatever your long-term goal, you can be assured that you are joining a sixth form with a strong and established reputation for academic success, pastoral support and opportunities beyond the classroom. A good sixth form education is not simply about the subjects you study and the grades that you achieve, although there is no escaping their central importance. There is also a wealth of opportunities for you to get involved in the wider life of the sixth form and to develop additional skills. I have been really impressed by the leadership qualities on show in the sixth form and by the vast amount of community leadership opportunities and fund-raising work that takes place here at St Ivo. The sixth form offers many enrichment opportunities; these enable students to take part in new activities or to take part in visits locally, nationally and even internationally. It is the combination of all these elements that makes our sixth form such a dynamic place and make us and the wider community proud. The decision about what to study at sixth form is an important one. I am confident that St Ivo Academy Sixth Form can offer you the range of courses, quality of teaching and enrichment opportunities to make for a stimulating and fulfilling two years which will prepare you for the next stage in your life. We are all happy to discuss your choices with you and to show you how our sixth form operates. We look forward to welcoming you. Tony Meneaugh Principal, St Ivo Academy

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
At our Sixth Form, learning goes far beyond the classroom. We offer a wide range of trips tailored to each subject, giving students the chance to experience their studies in exciting, real-world settings. Geography students might explore the stunning landscapes of Snowdonia, history students can immerse themselves in Berlin’s rich heritage, while others enjoy ski trips or visit theatre shows to bring their subjects to life. These experiences not only enhance academic understanding but also foster cultural awareness, personal growth, and teamwork, helping students develop new skills, broaden their horizons, and create lasting memories.
