Key Stage 5
Following successful completion of Key Stage 4, students may choose to attend the Sixth Form where a range of courses can be studied. We offer both GCE and BTEC courses and also the Extended Project Qualification. Our range of qualifications reflects our aim to prepare all students for university, apprenticeships or work.
At Key Stage 5 our range of courses changes each year in order to respond to the needs of the students. Our aim is to provide students with a range of subjects that will allow them to specialise in areas that interest them and that they wish to study further at university. Along with their core options choices, all students take part in an enrichment programme where they will study courses in work skills, active and community sport leadership.
