Welcome to Winterbourne Academy School Sixth Form.

Whether you leave Winterbourne Academy after seven years or only two, our hope is that you leave the Sixth Form happy, healthy, and thriving—ready to make a positive contribution to society and take on the next stage of your adult life with confidence. 

Winterbourne is a large and vibrant Sixth Form where you’ll be encouraged to work hard— both in lessons and independently—while also making the most of the many opportunities available to you. This is your time to challenge yourself, grow as a person, build lifelong friendships, and enjoy the transition into adulthood. 

We are proud to be an inclusive community where every student is valued, supported and encouraged to succeed. You’ll be part of a culture where differences are respected, and everyone feels that they belong. 

We also encourage you to take full advantage of our student leadership opportunities— whether that’s through becoming a Sixth Form ambassador, mentoring younger students, contributing to the student council, as house captain or through leading clubs and events. Your voice, ideas, and actions are key to shaping a positive and inspiring Sixth Form experience for all. 

Everything we do in the Sixth Form is guided by our PRIDE values: 

• Participation – Get involved. Take part in lessons, clubs, leadership roles, and wider school life. Your contribution helps shape our community and ethos. 
• Respect – Treat everyone with kindness, fairness, and understanding. Embrace diversity and value others’ perspectives. 
• Integrity – Be honest and responsible. Do the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest path. 
• Determination – Work hard, stay motivated, and be resilient when challenges arise. Keep pushing towards your goals. 
• Excellence – Strive for your personal best in everything you do—academically, socially, and as a role model in the school. 

Through excellent teaching, dedicated tutoring, enrichment opportunities, and the experiences you create for yourself, we will support you to grow academically and 3 personally—so you leave not only with strong qualifications, but also the confidence, character and skills to thrive in life beyond school. 

At Winterbourne, the Sixth Form is your community—and it belongs to you just as much as you belong to it. The next two years are yours to shape. 

We look forward to getting to know you, supporting your aspirations, and helping you become the very best version of yourself.
