We offer an extensive range of academic and vocational qualifications that provide for a range of learner requirements. It is possible to study both academic and vocational courses if desired. Most Sixth Form students take three Level 3 (A-level or BTEC) courses and the Extended Project Qualification. Entry requirements vary for different qualifications and are outlined in the prospectus and in the supplementary information .
We also offer a one year Bridging Programme designed for ambitious young people who wish to enhance their suite of qualifications before moving on to Level 3 qualifications or apprenticeships. Developed with the help of leading employers and professional bodies, you'll find the technical content and practical approach you'll need to help you stand out from the crowd and prepare for your next steps, whether that's an apprenticeship, employment or further study at Level 3. If you're looking for a Post 16 Level 2 course designed around what today's employers expect choose BTEC Level 2 Technicals.
Any student yet to achieve the standard required for GCSE Mathematics or English will have the opportunity to retake these qualifications in the Sixth Form.
