"I felt that the teachers throughout my 6th
Form experience made lessons accessible for
me, while treating me with great maturity. 6th
Form also gave me greater independence and
freedom within studying and my social life."
Tom Rowan

environment is so friendly and the staff put
YOU first”
OFSTED - 2012
“Guidance in the Sixth Form is very
