In September 2012 Sprowston will open the doors to its brand new Sixth Form. Our new Sprowston Sixth Form is a superb option for post 16 education. It is an exciting opportunity for many reasons…

 We offer a wide curriculum with over 30 ‘A’ Level subjects with proven success. These include subjects currently studied at GCSE and many new ones, for example Economics, Law, Philosophy and Ethics, Classics, English, Media, Graphic Design, Sociology, Performing Arts, ICT and Further Maths. As a Specialist School for Performing Arts and Media we offer exciting opportunities in these subject areas. For a full list visit

High academic expectations for all students with a personalised Gifted and Talented programme with support from learning mentors and tutors. We aim to challenge our most able students to ensure there are able to access the highest A Level results with a view to achieving a place at a top University. We offer high quality teaching all on one site. There will be no need to travel to different venues.

Highly qualified and enthusiastic subject specialists lead the teaching in each area and ensure students are supported to achieve their best possible exam results. To promote learning outside of the classroom we have established trips to overseas destinations such as Italy, Berlin, Paris and Iceland. Enriching field work opportunities take place in many subjects and students can attend lectures offered by universities or examination boards, which build on their work in the classroom.

 Our strong and experienced team of sixth form tutors offer good pastoral support, which includes academic mentoring and support with career or higher education pathways.  Students receive individual support with their selection of universities or other higher education establishments and during the UCAS process.  Individual guidance is also provided when students are completing CVs, applying for jobs or training or contemplating a ‘gap year’.

Established trips to many UK universities to ensure that students are armed with the right facts about future careers and moving on to university. Employers are invited into the school to lead workshops offering further advice in a range of careers, including setting up in business.

Leadership opportunities include the Accredited Volunteering Qualification and our Senior Students Scheme, which can help support future UCAS or job applications. A great range of social events are planned by students to develop an active student community. A number of sports clubs and teams compete against other sixth forms.
