Welcome to Tewkesbury Academy

Our Sixth Form promotes the enjoyment of learning and we support the ‘whole student’ through our excellent guidance systems. Alongside academic success we will encourage you to think about how you can enrich your personal development in other ways. You will have the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of extra-curricular and community activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and setting up charity events. The more you get involved, the more you will get out of your time with us.The strength of the Sixth Form is, of course, its students and each year we are amazed at the range of talents that Sixth Form students possess. Our aim is to help you to achieve your academic potential and give you as many social opportunities as possible. We promise you a memorable time in the Sixth Form and look forward to getting to know you.
