Sixth Form

Sir William Robertson Academy Sixth Form is proud to be a small, formal Sixth Form based in a rural setting committed to the academic success of its students.

Since the Sixth Form began in 2012, it has gone from strength to strength. We continue to uphold a 100% A Level and Level 3 BTEC pass rate and have seen our students move on to fantastic destinations. Universities our students are bound for in September 2020 include Oxford, Sheffield, York, Lincoln, Nottingham Trent and Leeds Beckett. Students undertaking apprenticeships have begun placements with institutions such as Network Rail and SWRA itself!

We achieve our excellent results through careful, personalised curriculum planning, committed teaching, rigorous assessment and tracking of student progress and regular supportive guidance for our students. We aim to treat each student as an individual and cater for their specific needs.

We have the highest expectations of all of our students and demonstrate this through an unwavering commitment to our Code of Conduct and Working Agreement. We believe that by consistently applying these expectations – from high attendance to a formal business dress code – we can develop excellent habits in our young people.

We proudly prepare our students for the demands of life after Sixth Form. We ensure that our students have unique opportunities to have experiences beyond their studies through our Enrichment programme, which ensures our students develop into well-rounded individuals.

Year 12 students undertake at least one week of relevant work experience alongside planned sessions about work readiness 2Fast2Soon Talk including CV building and interview preparation. We have various guest speakers in to challenge our students’ thinking and students lead a variety of clubs including debating, sports and marketing. We look forward to hearing from you about joining our Sixth Form!
