The Sixth Form operates within the Redhill Trust's shared commitment to high expectations, inclusive practice, and strong post‑18 outcomes. Our Post‑16 study programme is designed to ensure that all students are supported to make strong academic progress, develop independence and leadership, and progress successfully to higher education, apprenticeships, or employment.
We have developed strong links with universities. Partnerships include The University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and the universities of Birmingham and Nottingham.
These links are exceptionally valuable to our students as they benefit from mentoring, interview guidance, subject-specific workshops, financial support in the form of bursaries and unconditional offers for undergraduate study. Our close working relationships with universities see our students secure places on competitive courses such as law and medicine.
A large number of the cohort are offered summer schools with the Russell Group of universities. Our current Ofsted rating of Good illustrates the bespoke support that we provide for all students. Inspectors commented that: Students are extremely positive about the support and guidance they receive.
