Welcome to the 6th form

Students within the 6th form can achieve qualifications over one, two or three years which range from EL1 to GCSE qualifications. We offer a curriculum, of both academic and vocational subjects, supporting every student to achieve a profile of qualifications and life skills they need for their future and ensuring that they are ready to make the transition to the next phase of their lives. We provide opportunities for each student to achieve success and grow in self-esteem. We help each student have a realistic view of their own capabilities and to develop strategies for coping with their areas of difficulty.

We endeavour to prepare each pupil to take their place in the wider community as a responsible, law-abiding member, with the skills and confidence to make choices to the best of their ability. Students will develop the skills for life which will allow them to achieve the maximum independence possible.
