Welcome to St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy

St Margaret Ward Sixth Form is a proud partner of the Trinity Sixth Form. This is a Sixth Form provision with our two local Catholic partner schools: St John Fisher in Newcastle and St Thomas More in Longton.The Sixth Form was originally launched in 2012 and has grown from strength to strength over the years. The Sixth Form is open to any student who is studying at one of the partner schools. We also accept applications from any student from across the city.As we work in collaboration with each other, we are wholly committed to providing excellent Post-16 education in a caring, respectful and stimulating environment. We know that we cannot rely solely on our own, and our mission statement is simply that of, ‘succeeding together.’Those students who learn through our Sixth Form are supported in their quest to become the very best version of themselves that they can be. We have a strong commitment to working with our students in providing excellent pastoral care, bespoke careers information, advice and guidance.
