Welcome to Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre

A welcome from the Principal “Studying at Wyedean Sixth form was a great decision. My teachers are fantastic, and I’ve made friends for life.” Wyedean Sixth form centre provides every child with the very best opportunities to grow both academically and personally. Our sixth form centre is equipped for exceptional learning and our teachers are enthusiastic, experienced and know how to get the best out of our young people. This provision is underpinned by a broad and exciting curriculum offer. We offer an excellent record of academic excellence in our examination results, together with exceptional guidance and well-being support. Our ethos as a school is based on the development of the whole student to meet the ever-changing challenges and opportunities of a globalised society in the twenty-first century. At Wyedean, everyone has the opportunity to develop their individual talents and aptitudes within and beyond the classroom. Research-informed, aspirational teaching and learning is at the core of our offer and it is delivered by experienced, dedicated, professional, specialist teachers. Our students deservedly expect the highest quality of education and we meet this expectation time and again. Wyedean School and Sixth form centre is rightly recognised as a centre in the South West for academic high standards, aspirations and achievement. We have a strong collaborative relationship where students, staff, parents, and the community have an integral role to play in supporting our students to achieve their potential.
