I am delighted that you are considering making an application to study at St Margaret’s Church of England Academy Sixth Form.

St Margaret’s Sixth Form is a vibrant, diverse and supportive community. We have a strong track record of success in terms of academic achievement and excellence. Our curriculum is a careful blend of A level and BTEC subjects that allow our students to access the widest range of destinations, whether you are aiming for University or an apprenticeship, or even if you want to go straight into employment. Our students consistently tell us that they feel well supported by the Sixth Form team: they get the guidance they need to make informed choices, and their teachers support and challenge them every step of the way.

We also recognise that your years in Sixth Form are transformative, a time when you grow into the adult you will become, so we are very proud of the fact that our Sixth Form is about more than getting the exam results you need or your destination at the end of Year 13. We have developed an exceptional Personal Development programme, encompassing enrichment, citizenship and volunteering. This programme encourages students to develop skills as diverse as DIY and learning British Sign Language, alongside bringing in inspirational speakers from a range of professions and backgrounds. All of this means that during your time here at St Margaret’s Sixth Form, you will be exposed to a wide range of opportunities and be given the time, space and resources to find and follow your passions.

Please do get in touch with us if you have questions about life at St Margaret’s or the application process. If you’d like to find out more about our Sixth Form, please do have a look at our website or get in touch with us, and we’ll be happy to answer your questions.
