Welcome to Jesmond Park Academy
WelcomeIn choosing Jesmond Park Academy Sixth Form you are joining one of the finest, most successful Sixth Forms in Newcastle and one that is genuinely unique.We focus on a core of well over 400 students in outstanding, dedicated facilities. We think we are the right size: big enough to offer leading facilities, teaching and social life; small enough to really focus on our students and help them make the right choices to succeed at university, in life and in employment.Last year the overwhelming majority of our Year 11 students chose to continue their studies with us and a record number of students joined us from other schools in Newcastle and beyond, making up our friendly and diverse Sixth Form community.Our Academy currently offers over 30 A Level / BTEC courses, enabling students to compose a programme of study that meets their individual needs, supporting progression onto the next step beyond the Sixth Form. It doesn’t stop with just A Levels. There are BTEC programmes in IT, Business, Media, Health and Social Care and Science. Our tutors and support team go the extra mile to ensure our students are supported to achieve their goals and ambitions.Our students really do succeed, well above most other schools. Year on year we see some of the best results in the city and our students going on to the UK’s leading universities. We can talk about the excellence of our teaching, support and facilities, but “it’s our students’ achievements that demonstrates our success. We are very proud of each and every one of them.”72% of A Levels were graded A* to C98% overall pass rate across A Levels/BTECs90% of students secured their first choice of university place We are also proud of our students’ commitment outside of the classroom. They develop the discipline and resilience needed to manage their own time and study independently. They also develop further skills through our extensive volunteering and enrichment programme, which sees them serving both the school and the wider community.Our prospectus contains a range of useful information about our facilities, student life, enrichment, courses and entry requirements. However, we would recommend that you come and meet us and see our Sixth Form for yourself. Please contact us to arrange a tour, we’d be delighted to see you in person.
