Welcome to Barclay Academy
Barclay Academy Sixth Form is an academic sixth form with the highest aspirations for its students. The vast majority of our sixth form teachers went to Russell Group universities and Oxbridge, and as such are perfectly placed to support our students to move onto the very best higher educational institutions.Our enrichment offer ensures that students get used to university-style seminars, pursue work experience, and explore wider cultural opportunities. Through this, we seek to develop intellectual, socially minded individuals who can be the leaders of tomorrow.
