WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The sixth form staff are supportive and friendly, helping
with any issues you might face, whether academic or
social, and I know I can always approach them if
I am struggling in any way!
The sixth form also provides multiple enrichment

us in our further education and post-18 studies.
