Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
In 2023 we launched our own standalone sixth form, having formally been a part of a local consortium. As a new sixth form, we pride ourselves on providing a unique and enriching educational experience that prepares students for success in their future endeavours. Whilst the sixth form is new, it is built on an excellent tradition of student experience and examination success. We are proud of our students’ achievements, and year on year our students gain places at top universities including Oxford and Cambridge, as well as exceptional apprenticeship placements.
