Welcome Message
We are pleased to welcome you to the Sixth Form at RBA. In joining us you will be provided with an excellent education and gain a great deal of opportunities to become the very best that you can be.
Being a smaller Sixth Form means that we are able to support each of our students with their individual needs, through subject teachers and the pastoral team.
Our staff know the students very well and can offer support that is tailored to each student’s requirements throughout the two years they will be with us. The guidance provided to each student is excellent and our goal is to ensure that every student achieves their full potential, as well as leaving us to the right destination at the end of Year 13; whether that be to university, gaining an apprenticeship or a job in the field they are interested in.
In the Sixth Form, we are very much a community and students often pull together to support a variety of events throughout the year as well as playing active roles in helping students lower down the school. We look forward to working with you over the next few years and we would welcome any enquiry about the Sixth Form.
Mr Simon Purrier
Head of Sixth Form
Mr Antony Passarelli
Assistant Head of Sixth Form

Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesThis is an in-house bespoke programme to develop skills useful for life beyond the Sixth Form. This includes delivering the requirements for British Values, Citizenship, SMSC, RE, careers and health education. It includes exciting modules such as self-defence, cooking on a budget, first aid, debating and applying for a university course, an apprenticeship or employment.
We offer our students the opportunity to undertake the Extended Project Qualification. Students will study a topic of their choice and be guided through this qualification by a dedicated team of teachers from start to the final project assessment. This qualification is recognised by all universities as well as potential employers. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is offered to all students in the Sixth Form and is an internationally recognised qualification. Transferable skills such as organisation, resilience, teamwork, volunteering, and many more are developed.
Early in the Autumn term, we appoint House Captains from the year 12 intake. Many of these students develop their leadership skills to a great extent and they are then in line for posts of Senior Prefects and Head Boy/Head Girl when we come to appoint them in the Summer term. Senior Prefects will have a very important role within the school, both supporting staff on every day issues and representing the school at a wide range of events throughout the year.
