Sixth Form

Thank you for taking the time to consider Laureate Academy for your sixth form studies. At Laureate Academy, we aim to develop independent, ambitious and successful individuals who set themselves high expectations. Our teachers are subject specialists and provide our students with high quality lessons and a rigorous curriculum to help them become independent scholars and critical thinkers.   

Laureate students are provided with tailored guidance to help them with their academic endeavours, with many of our students going on to study at a wide range of institutions, including Russell Group universities such as Oxford and Nottingham. 

Alongside university, many of our students go onto to secure competitive degree-apprenticeships and we fully support students through this process.  

Our Sixth Form Team are committed to supporting you with all the stages of Post 16 life: from choosing your courses in Year 11, to developing expert knowledge and mature study habits at Post 16, to securing impressive university places (or employment) in Year 13. It is a privilege to support you at this pivotal time in your life as you make significant and exciting decisions about your future. 

If you are eager to gain expert knowledge, to perform, analyse, argue and invent, if you want to build a community that is active and outward-looking, then Laureate Academy is the sixth form for you.
