Kesgrave Sixth Form https://www.kesgrave.suffolk.sch.uk/sixth-form/

‘Our aim is for students to leave Sixth Form thinking ‘I really enjoyed that experience’ – knowing that they have been consistently encouraged and supported by the teachers and staff. Exam results are important too, but students making the most of the opportunities available to them is our real success. Students achieve outstanding A Level results and around 70% go on to pursue University courses each year. We offer a wide variety of A Level and vocational subjects, and have exceptional specialist facilities for applied subjects such as ICT, Media, Photography, Music Technology, Dance and Textiles. All our students are able to study in the Sixth Form during study periods, in the two University style Learning Resource Areas’.

Open Event New applicants to KHS are also encouraged to apply to attend our Post 16 Opportunities Day on Friday 4th December 2020.

St Joseph’s Sixth Form The focus for most Sixth Form students is naturally on A-levels and BTEC courses, but St Joseph’s College does more than just prepare its students for exams. To make the leap from school to the adult world of university or work means acquiring a broader range of life skills. We encourage students to take responsibility for their own success, learning how to be self-reliant and resourceful as well as supportive of others. We nurture a team spirit through the community of our Sixth Form, sharing the experience of study, recreation and performance, as well as a vibrant social life.
