The Academic Pathway is for those of our students aspiring for a university education. We have a UCAS programme for all Sixth Formers. Our bespoke Academic pathway offers you the opportunity to prepare for university including competitive applications to top universities including Oxford and Cambridge and highly competitive medical, dentistry and veterinary schools. The Academic Pathway is aspirational, informative and practical, with each Sixth Former linked to a personal tutor who can advise and support them throughout their time here. Our Academic Pathway students have progressed to a wide variety of top universities.
Academic Subjects:
ART & DESIGN, BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, CORE MATHS, ENGINEERING, ENGLISH, FURTHER MATHS, GEOGRAPHY, HISTORY, MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS, PSYCHOLOGY and SOCIOLOGY.
The Technical Pathway is for those of our students wanting to study for credible qualifications that universities recognise and respect, or which lead directly to their careers of choice. Students who plan on moving in to work or an apprenticeship once finishing Sixth Form have the opportunity to work with our Careers Education team to help them make the transition in to the world of work. We have a dedicated annual three day workshop ‘Insight to Leadership’ which aims to inspire and raise leadership skills and collaborative working. Group and one to one sessions help students develop their leadership and problem solving skills.

3D DESIGN, ACCOUNTANCY, BUSINESS STUDIES, CHILDCARE, COMPUTING, CRIMINOLOGY, ESPORTS, FINANCE, FOOD & NUTRITION, GRAPHICS, HAIRDRESSING, HEALTH STUDIES (DOUBLE), HEALTH STUDIES (SINGLE), ICT, PERFORMING ARTS, PHOTOGRAPHY and SPORTS STUDIES.
The Traineeship Pathway provides a route for learners who did not attain a Grade C or 4 in English or Mathematics. All learners have success in this area either through retaking GCSE and improving their grades or through studying functional skills qualifications. Our Traineeship students after successful completion of this pathway have moved on to the Technical Pathway to complete level 3 qualifications.
