We are delighted to announce that our brand new Sixth Form will open in September 2027, expanding our school’s commitment to excellence into post‑16 education. This exciting development marks a significant milestone in our journey, offering students the opportunity to continue their academic, personal, and professional growth within a familiar, supportive, and ambitious environment.
Our Sixth Form will provide a dynamic curriculum designed to prepare students for university, apprenticeships, and the world of work. Alongside high‑quality teaching, students will benefit from dedicated study spaces, personalised guidance, leadership opportunities, and an enrichment programme that supports their wider development.
At the heart of our vision is a commitment to empowering young people with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed. Whether aspiring to attend top universities or pursuing a vocational path, our post-16 pathways provide students with the challenge, inspiration, and support they need to excel. We are dedicated to nurturing their growth, ensuring they are well-prepared for a successful future.
We look forward to welcoming our first cohort in 2027 and building a Sixth Form that reflects our core values, high expectations, and belief in every student’s potential.

As you grow, we stand beside you, proud of the person you are becoming and committed to helping your ambitions become reality.
We demonstrate Unity through our collective actions. Our Sixth Form is a community built on collaboration, mutual respect, and a shared sense of purpose. Here, you are not just a student—you are an integral part of a team that listens, supports, and celebrates one another. Together, we create an inclusive and empowering environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Your time in our Sixth Form will be more than just about academic qualifications. It is an opportunity to uncover your strengths, explore new horizons, and grow into a confident and determined young adult, ready to take on the world beyond school within an evolving world.
