Our sixth form is open to all.  Our guiding mission is to provide our students with exciting sixth form experiences that promote academic excellence and spiritual guidance, ensuring Christian Values are at the centre of all that we do. The New Sixth combines exceptional teaching and learning with outstanding pastoral care enabling students to thrive in an atmosphere that ensures everyone acquires the academic success, confidence and skills they need to continue their educational journey of choice.

Our sixth formers are role models and the leaders of our student body. We encourage our students to be independent and resilient, to understand their responsibilities to themselves and others. The sixth form experience ensures that all students are provided with new opportunities to develop and grow.

Our outstanding sixth form campus provides students with their own purpose-built Learning Resource Centre, state of the art science laboratories and café. This bespoke facility bridges the gap between school, university and the world of work, allowing our sixth formers the autonomy and space to grow in a supportive, high-achieving environment.

The New Sixth is outward facing and innovative in its vision, working collaboratively with a range of partners, Prior Park College, St Mark’s School and Bath Education Trust, to ensure our students benefit from numerous opportunities and experiences.
