High Achievers Programme and HE+
- High Achievers Programme: Our bespoke High Achievers Programme supports students aiming for competitive courses such as Medicine, Dentistry and other highly selective degrees. This includes tailored guidance on work experience, admissions tests, personal statements and interview preparation.
- HE+ Programme (University of Cambridge): Separate to our High Achievers Programme, we also participate in the Cambridge HE+ programme, a year‑long initiative designed to help academically able students make competitive applications to highly selective universities. Through HE+, students access:
- University‑style lectures and seminars
- Academic extension beyond the A Level curriculum
- Guidance on research skills and university applications
- Opportunities to visit Cambridge and experience university life
Together, these programmes give ambitious students a powerful platform for progression to top universities, and apprenticeships.
Leadership, community and character
Our Sixth Form is not only about grades, it’s about growing as a person and a leader.
- Student Parliament: Students can take on leadership roles within our Sixth Form Parliament, shaping student voice, contributing to whole‑school initiatives, and developing confidence in public speaking, collaboration and decision‑making.
- New House System: Our newly launched house system builds a strong sense of community and healthy competition. Through inter‑house events, charity projects and academic and pastoral challenges, students form lasting connections and develop teamwork, resilience and pride in their house
-
Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award: Students have the opportunity to work towards the prestigious Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, developing resilience, independence and leadership through a programme of volunteering, physical activity, skill development and expedition. Recognised by universities and employers alike, the award enables students to challenge themselves, broaden their experiences and build confidence for life beyond Sixth Form.
Ofsted described our school as “An inspirational place to learn.” In the Sixth Form, that inspiration is lived out daily, through academic excellence, rich opportunities, and a culture that helps students discover what they are truly capable of.

Acting Headteacher, Mrs. Baxter:
I am so proud of our Year 13 students and their achievements this year; they showed incredible fortitude and resilience during the exam period and have been rewarded with an excellent set of results, enabling them to move forward onto their next stage, whether that be a university course or a Degree Level Apprenticeship.
This year group was very special to us all in school and we are so pleased to see them achieve such success in their A Levels, not only did they work hard and apply themselves with real determination, but they are an incredibly kind and compassionate group who represent the very best of our school and have so much to offer as they move into adult life.
I want to take this opportunity to thank the Sixth Form team, Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Wheeler, for so expertly supporting and guiding our students, as well as all of our teachers, who have delivered their specifications so expertly and prepared students for the final exams so well. My gratitude also goes to our parents and carers who have supported the school so tangibly over the last few months – we have all really appreciated your messages and kind wishes.
Our Sixth Form embodies high academic standards and excellent outcomes, as well as incredible pastoral support and guidance, within an inclusive and uniquely harmonious whole school community.
