Alongside the engaging curriculum and high-quality teaching and learning that students will experience at Highfields, we place a real emphasis on academic enrichment. These opportunities are a fantastic way for students to demonstrate their expertise and enthusiasm in relation to a particular subject or future career pathway.

Preparation for the future forms a key part of the Sixth Form programme at Highfields. We recognise that supporting students with their career choices is integral to their long-term success. The majority of our students progress on to their first choice university course; others will go on to study an apprenticeship or move straight into employment. We work closely with all students to ensure they embark upon a pathway that is appropriate for them.

The success of Highfields Sixth Form is built upon a strong sense of community that is shared by everyone in school. The contribution that Sixth Form students make to school life and the wider community is invaluable. They act as role models to younger students, consistently demonstrating the high standards of academic and personal conduct that is expected of all students.

Personal development is a fundamental aspect of life at Highfields. We pride ourselves on helping young people grow into well rounded individuals who have the confidence, independence and resilience to be successful. Highfields Sixth Form students are able to demonstrate that they possess the skills and qualities that are so highly sought after by universities, apprenticeship providers and employers.
