Welcome to Haggerston School

A Warm Welcome to Haggerston Sixth Form.Haggerston Sixth Form is a vibrant community of talented and ambitious young people. Our focus is on academic excellence and developing leaders of the future. Our Sixth Form is in the top 25% nationally, for progress. Our students benefit from high levels of exceptional teaching, small class sizes and individual support. Last year, all our students progressed on to university or degree level apprenticeships with a significant number (44%) securing places at Russell Group Universities, more than double the London average.Our curriculum offer is built around academic, ‘facilitating’ subjects with a small number of vocational courses. The majority of students study three A- Levels, and the Extended Professional Qualification and we expect all our students to engage with a number of enrichment experiences alongside their academic courses. We work with The Access Project, who provide specialist, individual support with university applications, including bespoke societies for students who aspire to study medicine, law or to attend Oxford or Cambridge.Situated in a Grade II listed, historic building, sixth formers at Haggerston benefit from fantastic, state of the art facilities. Our students enjoy a rich variety of experiences, from guest lectures and cultural visits to links with our business partners in the city. Our students feel part of a tight-knit community, where they can develop their individual talents and flourish into confident and successful young adults.Miss Thahmina Begum, Headteacher
