Enrichment Activities

At the Brunts Academy Sixth Form, we are committed to not only challenging students to achieve their potential in their studies, but also to help shape their identity beyond this. We encourage our students to become role models within the school, as well as developing a sense of personal responsibility to the well-being of others both in the local community and beyond.

Head Students

The opportunity to be a head student is an incredible opportunity to be recognised as the pinnacle of excellence in the Sixth Form. Not only will you be able to converse with potential applicants and parents, giving tours of the school and sharing your experiences, but you will also present at Post 16 open evenings and school assemblies both inside and outside of the academy. You will guide the Prom Committee, be a focal point for Sixth Form students as well as being a vital connection to those students in lower school.

The Sixth Form Committee

Each year a committee is elected from members of Years 12 and 13, to work in conjunction with the Sixth Form tutors. The committee serves a vital purpose in representing opinions, offering suggestions and providing a link between staff and students. It is also responsible for the organisation of social functions as well as events to foster our links with the local community and charities.

Sports Leaders

All Sixth Form students have the opportunity to work towards Sports Leaders qualifications. Year 12 can follow the Community Sports Leadership qualification and Year 13 the Higher Sports Leadership qualification.

Preparing for the World of Work

In your time at Sixth Form, you might want to consider developing your skills by applying for a number of paid roles in the Academy that we offer to Sixth Formers. These include working as a midday supervisor, supporting in Food Technology lessons or supporting our busy School Reception.
