Welcome to Eckington School

Welcome to Eckington School Sixth Form.

Eckington School's vibrant Sixth Form welcomes post-16 students from both within its existing Year 11 student group and from a range of other schools. We offer a wide variety of courses, accessed from our dedicated sixth form facility. Sixth Form students receive excellent support throughout their time at Eckington with careers and personal development advice, delivered by our staff team.

I am enormously proud of our Sixth Form. Our successful young adults are becoming increasingly influential in the school; they are role models for younger students to aspire to and they play an integral part in the life of our school community.
