Qualifications and Accreditation

All students in the sixth form work towards accreditations and awards based on their individual prior attainment and qualifications gained in Key stage 4.

Students will have access to a personalised curriculum which will prepare them for their future.

Students are taught in distinct groups according to ability, curriculum need and social group. We believe that this is vitally important for students to gain the breadth of study they need before they leave the sixth form for their next destination.

Students work towards completing credits that make up different units. These credits are based upon the timescale it will take an individual to complete the learning outcomes.
