We are sixth form specialists – all of our teaching, facilities and support services are specially designed for 16-19 year olds and their specific needs, and run by experts with years of experience working with this age group.

Course choice – because we do sixth form and nothing else, we can offer a range of courses most schools simply can’t.

Independence – outside of lesson time we will support you to work independently, and manage your study in a way that best suits you. We treat you like an adult, and help you prepare you for your next stage at university or at work.

A fresh start – our students relish the chance to meet a new group of like-minded people, make new friends and explore new opportunities in a fresh environment.
