Welcome to our 6th Form

The Wellington Academy 6th Form is unique. As well as excellent grades in a range of subjects in both A-Level and BTEC options, we offer an outstanding range of extra opportunities that you will not find anywhere else.

The ethos of the 6th Form is ‘limitless aspiration’; we spend a lot of time ensuring that students not only succeed to the best of their ability in subjects of their choice, but they leave us at the end of year 13 having had the opportunities to experience programmes designed to both enhance their future choice prospects, and also develop as a young adult ready for the world beyond school.

The 6th Form has grown in strength each year. Our results improve year on year, and the number of opportunities increase also. Student feedback is very positive, with all students rating the department as being very supportive and effective in this support. Whilst our numbers are increasing each year, we are still a small enough 6th form to be able to offer personal support and guidance and bespoke curricular plans. A common theme in feedback is the ‘family atmosphere’.

Students leave us to greater things at the end of year 13. Last year for example, every single student left to a destination of their choice, be it higher apprenticeships, university, or employment; over 70% of students chose university as their destination and these choices included Russell Group universities.

We hope you have a look through the rest of the department pages; if you would like to come in for a look around or experience the school in action, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
