Welcome to Iveshead School

ISF Sixth Form provides a distinct and supportive post-16 education that focuses on the development of the whole student. Its small size allows for an intimate learning environment with small classes, fostering close relationships between students and staff. The curriculum is primarily A-Level based, complemented by some vocational offerings in Science and Sport. The school prides itself on a broad range of subjects to ensure students have a wide array of options for their future.Beyond academics, the school offers a rich array of enrichment opportunities. These include personal development sessions on practical life skills, such as cooking and money management, as well as discussions on current events. Students can also serve as mentors for younger students in areas such as reading and numeracy. Subject-specific trips, such as Media excursions to London and Geography fieldwork in Wales, provide real-world context for learning.We are extremely proud of all of our sixth-form students and the role they play in our whole school community. We look forward to welcoming you and playing a vital role in your educational journey.Matthew Parrott, Headteacher
