Sixth Form Life

At Heathcote Sixth Form, we pride ourselves on offering an exceptional educational experience. Our small class sizes allow for personalised support, ensuring every pupil receives the attention needed to excel academically and actively participate in school life. Our dedicated and experienced teachers are committed to fostering an environment where pupils thrive.

We set high expectations for our pupils. As such, commitment and dedication to your studies are essential. This valuable time helps develop essential research skills, a deeper understanding of subjects, and the critical thinking needed for academic success.

Learning Resource Centre

Our Learning Resource Centre is a hub for independent study, equipped with modern facilities and access to IT resources and course materials. Whether working on collaborative projects or conducting individual research, pupils benefit from this essential space. Additionally, timetabled supervised study sessions and silent study rooms provide a focused environment, while a comfortable common area offers a relaxed space for collaborative work and breaks.

Sixth Form community at Heathcote

At Heathcote Sixth Form, we embrace a holistic approach to education, extending learning beyond the classroom through a variety of trips. From local excursions to international adventures, our pupils broaden their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world. Recent highlights include overseas trips to Berlin and Krakow, offering enriching cultural and historical experiences.

We actively encourage and celebrate pupil leadership and volunteering. Opportunities to take on leadership roles foster a sense of responsibility and teamwork. Through initiatives such as the school council and pupil ambassadors, pupils have a platform to voice their opinions and contribute to school decisions. Our partnership with the Envision project allows Sixth Form pupils to embark on social action projects, engaging in community service and charitable activities while building transferable skills for the working world.

We believe that contributing to the community enriches lives and nurtures empathy and social responsibility in our pupils. Participation in local events, supporting charitable causes, and organising fundraisers are all encouraged to make a positive impact beyond the school gates.

Join us at Heathcote Sixth Form and become part of a community dedicated to your academic and personal success.
