Welcome to Wreake Valley Academy
Bradgate Sixth Form offers a wide range of opportunities for all students. The Sixth Form provides individuality, more responsibility and increased depth of study. We recruit from a large number of 11 -16 schools, so our Sixth Form is a great place to meet new people and make new friends.The Bradgate Sixth Form is based in Syston, Leicestershire a small town on the edge of Leicester City serving North East Leicestershire and Charnwood. We share the same site as Wreake Valley Academy and Bradgate Education Partnership Trust.“We believe our Sixth Form is large enough to have the freedom and responsibility of a college but small enough to have the support and sense of belonging, the best of both worlds!”.Neha, Former Sixth Form StudentWe have thought carefully about the suite of A Levels and BTEC courses that we deliver. We are proud of the full range of facilitating subjects we offer which have enabled many of our students to follow their career aspirations into dentistry, medicine and veterinary, many who now attend one of the Russell Group Universities or have followed high level apprenticeship courses with companies such as JCB, Deloittes and Nylacast. In addition, we offer a good range of vocational courses which can lead on to vocational degrees in the creatives, science, health and social care and sports. We firmly believe that our Level 3 provision (A Level and BTEC courses) can cater for the needs of most students.
