Working together with you and your family from the moment you join our community, we will ensure a smooth transition and be on hand to guide you throughout your time with us. Our collaborative approach will help you to get the most out of your study programme.

Our highly-qualified staff have developed strong links with those working on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, putting you in an excellent position to learn from world-leading academics and industry specialist scientists.
Making the transition to studying at sixth form may be challenging: you will need to step up and take ownership of your learning.

It’s designed around practical strategies that are focused on developing your vision, effort, systems, practices and attitude - 5 important areas of self-development that together add up to sixth form success!
