I am extremely honoured to be Head of Sixth Form at Great Western Academy.  GWA Sixth Form opened in September 2018 and is the only Sixth Form school in the North Swindon area.  We are committed to providing the local community and surrounding area with an exceptional Post 16 education and aim to be the number one choice for Sixth Form in North Swindon.  We welcome students each year from a number of local secondary schools.

Our ACE Values, Achievement, Care and Excellence, are at the heart of everything we do at GWA.  If you chose GWA Sixth Form you will benefit from:

• Outstanding teaching and learning
• Small class sizes
• A committed and caring tutor team to support you every step of the way
• Dedicated Sixth Form common room and facilities
• Excellent careers advice and guidance
• A variety of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities
• Openings for leadership roles and whole school responsibility 

Life at GWA Sixth Form is not just about academic success; it is also about personal development and preparing for life beyond school. You will have opportunities to contribute to the wider community though our enrichment programme, which includes extra-curricular activities and leadership roles, alongside super-curricular learning, work experience, and support and guidance. This enables our students to become well rounded and confident individuals.  

We are very proud to see our first group of students achieve exceptional A Level results and go on to some prestigious post-18 destinations. We look forward to celebrating further success every year as our Sixth Form grows and establishes itself as the number one provider for Post 16 Education in the local area.

I hope you find the information on our website useful, but we always welcome you to get in touch and come and see our fantastic school. Please do not hesitate to email us to find out more about upcoming opportunities.
