There is private study time built into individual programmes to assist students in the completion of homework, project work and individual research and students are expected to use this time positively. Effective use of this time is promoted through supervised study periods.
The range of courses and experiences offered to students in the Sixth Form has been designed to enable them to achieve academic success, further their progression needs and to provide opportunities to develop other skills and interests. Sixth Form education is about more than gaining qualifications. It is a time for personal development and fulfilment as well as preparation for higher education and employment. Our Sixth Form have a base in a purpose built study centre and are also integrated into the Academy.
