Our Sixth Form provides a stepping stone between school and university and prepares you for further study or employment. As a Sixth Form student, you’ll benefit from excellent facilities, including our Learning Resource Centre, communal spaces, course-specific workshops and teaching areas.
T Levels are new courses which follow GCSEs and are equivalent to three A Levels. They’ve been co-created by the industry you want to be a part of, so you can gain the knowledge and skills you need to leap ahead of the crowd and into your desired career.
Vocational courses are designed to help you learn in a practical way about a specific job area. If you have a specific career in mind, prefer a practical way of learning, and assignments over exams, choose from our wide range of vocational courses from Levels 1 to 3.
Apprenticeships are for anyone aged 16 or over and they allow you to earn and learn at the same time, meaning you have great prospects for the future! We work with a variety of different employers, ranging from small to large, who offer great opportunities to ‘earn as you learn’.
