Welcome to Cecil Jones Academy
“However hard life may seem, there is always something you can succeed at”- Stephen Hawking Our mission in the Cecil Jones Academy Sixth Form is to ensure all students depart at the end of Year 13 with a sense of accomplishment, knowing that they have been guided and supported to reach their full potential.The ethos of the Sixth Form team is to nurture and support our students to become well-rounded and resilient adults ready to take their next steps. In preparation of these next steps into higher education and beyond, students are encouraged to be intellectually curious in all that they do as they continue to have high aspirations for their personal academic achievements. Through dynamic and engaging A level lessons, opportunities for extra-curricular volunteering as well as life skills development, Cecil Jones Academy prides itself in developing students’ thirst for knowledge and self-belief.Our welcoming and friendly community continues to be the first choice for many students selecting a Sixth Form. Teachers have a wealth of knowledge ensuring that lessons are engaging and designed to catapult students to academic success. Our pastoral system acts as a supportive guide for students through the UCAS or work-related pathways. We provide students with a range of workshops to ensure they are selecting the right course or work place opportunity. Students receive regular one to one meeting with the sixth form team for tailored support and guidance. Sixth Form students are provided with enrichment opportunities such as student tutoring, being part of the Junior Leadership Team, working with primary schools, trips, charity fundraisers as well as subject ambassadors, all of which instil lifelong skills. These opportunities are available for all Sixth Form students and are an excellent chance for students to develop the skills necessary for successful applications to university and the workforce.We look forward to seeing our Sixth Form students grow and develop into well-rounded and resilient adults.All students are welcome to contact their Form Tutor, teachers or Deputy Headteacher responsible for KS5.Mr Andrews and Miss SearPost 16 Team
