Applicants to the Sixth Form are also invited to meet with the Head of Sixth Form.
A range of scholarships and bursaries are available.
For us, education is not just about academic achievement, it’s about making a difference. Every member of our school community has a belief that we can all make a difference. We will all play a part in equipping students to develop a love of learning.
