Sixth form

We are proud to be a unique and inclusive Sixth Form that enables pupils from all backgrounds to aspire to top Universities and Apprenticeships. 

We specialise in offering a rigorous BTEC provision as we know that this is what's best for the students in the community that we serve. Our professional Pathways is more than simply a BTEC, providing a wrap-around curriculum that builds pupils skills and prepares them for the world of work. For hard working, ambitious pupils who want to go to do great things but don’t think A Levels are right for them, Professional Pathways are a fantastic alternative. 

Our Foundation programme provides students who have yet to pass English and Maths the opportunity to do so in an academic sixth form setting with high ambition and a progression route onto our Professional Pathways courses. This means that these students have a clear path to University that they may not get elsewhere. 

Despite only opening in 2020 our results speak for themselves, ranking within the top 25% in the country for progress in 2022, and we are just getting started! Our pupils go on to Russell Group and top third Universities including the likes of Queen Mary, Royal Holloway, Sheffield, Cardiff, UEA and more. 

By joining our Sixth Form you will experience: 

High Expectations – Our students dress and act in a professional manner and are seen as role models and leaders around the school. 

Culture of hard work – Our students benefit from two study rooms to complete their independent work outside of lessons in an academic climate. Hard work is reflected in attainment but also rewarded through our rewards and Elvin Honours Programme. 

High aspirations – Everything we do is focused on providing the best possible academic education to reach top destinations and have successful careers. But also to provide enrichment, opportunities and experiences that develop our pupils personally and make them more well rounded individuals. 

We are a friendly, welcoming and diverse Sixth Form looking for ambitious pupils. If you would like to join us we would love to receive your application! 

I look forward to meeting you.
