HomeSchool Profile

Welcome to Bishop Luffa School, Chichester

Bishop Luffa Sixth Form is big enough to be able to offer a full range of course but still small enough that we can get to know our students and support them as they decide the route they are going to take as adults.For our existing students there are already strong relationships with staff that lead to a very successful experience in Sixth Form. However, we also have a strong tradition of welcoming students from other schools into our Sixth Form. Our focus on the whole person, our higher education and careers programme and the community ethos of Bishop Luffa are attractive to many students, regardless of their background and personal beliefs.
