Outstanding Facilities
The Sixth Form Study Area is a space reserved solely for the use of Sixth Form Students. The area is fully equipped with PCs and our full-time Sixth Form Student Manager is based in the Study Area and is always on hand when help is needed. There are no timetabled lessons in the Study Area, so it’s always available when you need it.
The Sixth Form Forum is another area completely reserved for Sixth Form use. This bright, modern space is the hub of the Sixth Form where Sixth Form students can relax and enjoy access to their own café. The recently refurbished Forum is also fully equipped with wall-mounted plasma televisions and access to music channels.
Many of the other excellent facilities you will access depend on the subjects you chose to study. If you choose to access a Sports related course you will benefit from use of a school fitness gym, sports hall and full size, flood lit 3G pitch of the highest grade. If you choose to access an Art related course you will benefit from access to five fully equipped Art studios and a state-of-the-art Photography dark room. Additionally, if you access Media and Film courses you will gain access to a suite of new Apple IMACS fully equipped with industry standard software, such as Final Cut Pro. You will also have priority access to the mini-cinema with HD Projector and Dolby Surround Sound.
