Sixth Form
Our Sixth Form provision offers students aged 16-19 the opportunity to thrive in our supportive, nurturing environment. Whether continuing from our secondary school or joining us for the first time, we provide the perfect bridge between the end of Year 11 and the next steps on their journey.
What We Offer
Students continuing from our secondary school can build on trusted relationships with familiar staff, while those joining us for the first time will quickly develop new and supportive links. All pupils receive specialist teaching tailored to their specific learning differences in a calming, predictable learning environment with small class sizes and high adult-to-pupil ratios.
Pupils can join our programme for any length of time that suits their needs – they don’t need to stay for the full three years. Our curriculum is designed to scaffold learning and gradually increase independence.
