Our Sixth Form

Woldgate Sixth Form provides exciting opportunities to continue your educational journey, to build upon your GCSE results and progress onto qualifications that provide academic rigour and challenge.

Open Evening: Thursday 21st November 2024 6pm-8pm

A key feature of our Sixth Form is our strong system of pastoral support and guidance which is available to all students and encourages them to achieve their full potential.

Universities and employers are increasingly looking for young people who can offer more than just a good set of exam results. They value applicants who are independent, motivated and versatile. At Woldgate Sixth Form we offer students the opportunity to develop a broad set of transferable skills.

Woldgate Sixth Form provides a wide variety of enrichment opportunities, with students participating in the wonderful range of expeditions, visits, internships and leadership programmes.

The majority of our students choose to enter Higher Education following their time at Woldgate Sixth Form with 31% of our students last year progressing on to Russell Group Universities (five times the national average). Through a rigorous programme of support, we ensure all students secure their future goals, be that University, further training or employment.

I look forward to welcoming you into our Sixth Form and working with you during the next challenging and exciting stage of your education.

Our Sixth Form tutors are friendly, knowledgeable, caring and supportive.
