Welcome to Goresbrook School

Goresbrook Sixth Form was established with the aim to provide an exceptional A Level offer in the borough. As a selective sixth form we are committed to securing exceptional attainment and outcomes for students in order to progress to top universities nationally and internationally or equivalent. Students study a robust curriculum where diverse knowledge, key skills and meaningful experiences are embedded to enable success at A level, university and their future careers. Hard work, resilience, independence and motivation are traits we hone over the course of the two years in order for students to meet the expectations required of higher education. Our sixth form is linked to a variety of institutions to support students with enrichment opportunities alongside our in-school offer. We welcome students from a range of backgrounds with the intrinsic drive to succeed. I look forward to meeting you all soon. Thomas Porter Head of Sixth Form
