The leaders of the sixth form, Miss Hopkins and Miss McCallion stated, "It is wonderful to be leading the school's Sixth Form Centre, which is at the heart of our community and so highly regarded within the area as a leading provider of Post-16 courses."
The governing body are highly supportive and have heavily invested in the facilities at the school which have been further enhanced this year by the creation of larger spaces for independent study and reflection. The highly skilled and experienced Sixth Form team of teachers provides quality provision within small class sizes which gives our students personalised support and guidance at such a critical time in their lives.
Providing personalised tutoring, within small class sizes enables teachers to give our students the individual attention and guidance that they require at this stage in their lives when they are studying at such a high level. Coupling this with the impressive facilities available to all learners are the key ingredients for success at this level.
