WELCOME FROM THEHEADTEACHER

WELCOME FROM THEHEAD OF SIXTH

Welcome to our Sixth Form. I am incredibly proud of the vibrant, supportive and ambitious community we have created here. Our success is shown in consistently great academic outcomes. Students achieve excellent results and progress to a wide range of university courses, apprenticeships, and school leaver programmes. 

High expectations are matched with high levels of support, ensuring everyone is challenged, encouraged, and guided to unlock their unique potential.

Just as important as academic success is our strong sense of community. Sixth Form students play a key role in the life of the school and are valued for their leadership, maturity, and contribution. We are proud that our students feel safe, supported, and confident to be themselves, contributing to an environment where everyone can truly thrive.
