Sixth Form Provision

When fully subscribed the sixth form will take up to 250 students and they will be provided with a rich menu of learning opportunities including 'A' levels; Specialised Diplomas; Vocational Qualifications and International Baccalaureate according to demand.

In September 2009, when the Academy opens in the exising buildings, we will be offering approximately 35 sixth form places.

The Wellington Academy is having detailed discussions with Wiltshire LSC to explore how it will deliver the detail of the sixth form offer which will strongly reflect:

• Students' learning needs and interests;
• The Academy specialisms of Business and Enterprise and Foreign Languages;
• Filling gaps in current local provision and
• Providing opportunities to link other post 16 providers in the local area.

We will up-date this page regularly as we progress with our discussions.

The Principal Designate has been appointed. Andy Schofield, currently Headteacher at Varndean School has accepted the post starting September 2008. Andy will establish the new Academy for 12 months prior to its opening in September 2009.
