Welcome to The Royal Harbour Academy

Message from Head of Sixth FormAt The Royal Harbour Academy we are incredibly proud to offer the prestigious International Career Related Programme (IBCP). We have a well designed variety of academic and vocational courses that support the development of all learners. Our Sixth Form outcomes have been excellent for several years, with the greatest achievement being young people going onto their chosen destination, whether that be University, Apprenticeship or into Employment. The very essence of the IBCP encourages our students to develop crucial skills that will enable them to enter adulthood as confident, well-rounded and independent people. We have taken the IB learner profile and the principles of learning to create a curriculum that is tailored to the students in front of us making it a unique experience for each year group. In addition to classroom learning, we take great pride in our broad offer of educational trips and visits to help our student's develop skills and confidence outside of the classroom.– Mr J Stoner, Head of Sixth Form

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
Here at the Royal Harbour Academy, we understand the importance of explorative learning and culturally enriching the lives of our students. We aspire to extend student’s learning through new experiences and opportunities. We want to provide a rounded, culturally rich education that they will remember for a lifetime. We offer clubs that run at many points during the school day, from before school, break and lunch time clubs to clubs that are available after the school day has ended. We offer a wide range from cooking, judo, drama or even more modern e-sports clubs. Whatever your interest or passion, there will be a club for you. As well as our school clubs, we also are heavily involved in national activities. We actively take part in events such as World Book Day, Online Safety and many more.
