Our Sixth Form is a vibrant and high achieving place to study. We aim to combine academic rigour with the benefits of a more mature relationship between staff and students that will allow you to achieve your full potential."Ofsted has consistently recognised our success in doing so and so have our former students. These young people have gone on to enjoy a huge range of opportunities - whether it is Oxford or Cambridge, Medicine or Veterinary Science, an advanced apprenticeship or a set of skills for the world of work, our Sixth Form is a friendly and supportive place to follow your dreams.Stafford is fortunate to be part of one of the country’s leading schools, known as The Stafford Sixth Form. This means our students can choose from an exceedingly broad range of subjects and qualifications. The Sixth Form team will lead you through this process during Year 11, and my door is always open to any student who would like to discuss their options".
