Sixth Form
Choosing where to study after Year 11 is a big decision — and at Ormiston SWB6th, we’re proud to offer an environment where every student is supported to aim high, work hard and thrive.
We offer a wide range of A Level and specialist BTEC courses, giving our students the flexibility to shape a programme of study that suits their interests and ambitions. But we believe sixth form is about far more than just qualifications.
More Than Just Study
Life at SWB6th is designed to help students grow as individuals and build the skills, confidence and experiences they need for the future. Our enrichment opportunities include:
- The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
- Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
- Sports coaching qualifications
- Student leadership roles across the Academy
- A reading and mentoring programme with younger students
These are just some of the activities that have been designed to help students stand out at university, in employment, and beyond.
Support That Makes the Difference
What truly sets us apart is the depth of support we provide. From weekly guidance sessions in Year 13 focused on university and job applications, to academic mentoring, tailored careers advice, wellbeing support and counselling, our students are surrounded by a strong network of teachers, tutors, advisors and pastoral staff who are always on hand to offer help and guidance. Every student is known, supported and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Preparing You for What’s Next
Competition for university places and jobs is tougher than ever — and we want our students to stand out.
That’s why we’re introducing our new Pathway system, designed to support students aiming for competitive fields such as Medicine and Law. These pathways will offer tailored guidance, opportunities and experiences to give our students the strongest possible start to their future careers.
Come and See for Yourself
We know there’s a lot to think about when choosing where to study at 16. We hope this section of our website gives you a sense of what makes SWB6th special — and how we can help you take the next steps towards your ambitions.
