Welcome to The South Wolds Academy & Sixth Form
Thank you for your interest in the South Wolds' Sixth Form. We are a small Post-16 centre offering an academic curriculum of around 26 different A Level subjects including an Arts Pathway. We are small in size but big in terms of the opportunities, experiences and personal support that we offer to our students. As a Post-16 team we feel very privileged and proud to be working with students at this key stage of their education and supporting them on their journey through A Level study on to university or the world of work.During Year 11, you may feel under great pressure to make a decision about your plans for Post 16 Education. It is important that you make the right choice for you. Choosing to continue your education at The South Wolds Academy Sixth Form is a positive choice. Selecting the right programme of study or combination of courses can be extremely difficult, especially if you do not have any clear ideas about your future aspirations, but there is still much for you to consider at this stage to make your final choice of courses well informed.Jo Capewell - Head of Sixth Form, KS5 Senior Performance, Leader and Psychology LeadSusan Aston - Head of Year 12 Faculty, Performance Leader: Art, Design & Technology
