Welcome to Sprowston Community Academy
"Our Sixth Form is built on excellent, supportive relationships. Every student is fully supported on their journey, both academically and pastorally. Academic excellence is the core of our mission. We are dedicated to nurturing a culture of learning and achievement, providing students with the tools and support they need to reach their full potential and prepare them for a bright future.Our 'work hard, play hard' culture is the driving force behind all that we do. Although our main focus is high achievement, we recognise the value and importance of experiences outside the classroom. The Sprowston Sixth Form Curriculum is filled with many engaging enrichment opportunites to develop personal skills, give back to the community and activities to enjoy and share with friends."Head of Sixth Form - Mel Kersey
