Welcome to Wickersley School and Sports College

At Wickersley, we expect a lot from our students, but we give a lot in return.Wickersley Sixth Form offers a blend of freedom and independence, alongside the tried-and-tested working practices of a successful secondary school. Class sizes are small enough to allow teachers to focus on individuals, and the dedicated sixth form team is on hand to offer comprehensive support whenever needed.We have a different feel to other sixth forms and colleges. We want our students to be independent learners, and we give them opportunities to do so, but we also want them to take ownership of their learning. For some students, this is a difficult balance to strike. Whilst some thrive in the freer environment that sixth form provides, some need a little more supervision and intervention and we’re there to provide any support necessary.The recipe for success at Wickersley is simple; work hard, develop good study habits, listen carefully to feedback, and remain buoyant after disappointment and setbacks. Having dreams and goals is very important too – students must focus on these throughout their studies.We aim to send every young person into the world able and qualified to play their full role in it. Mr S GaynorHead of Sixth Form
