Welcome
Welcome to Stratton Sixth Form – a place where achievement, aspiration and excellence are at the heart of all we do.
We are immensely proud of our Sixth Form, which has been built by students and staff over time. Students work hard and achieve to the best of their ability in an ethos where commitment, caring and contribution to the community are key to all we do. Our students enjoy their learning and their results at all levels have consistently demonstrated this with above national average outcomes in Academic, Applied General, A Level and Foundation programmes. This is down to the hard work, commitment and positive working relationships amongst staff, students and parents.
It is both a privilege and a responsibility to guide our young people through these incredibly important years. We have the highest expectations of them at all times and ask them to focus on personal excellence as well as the academic, as it is this combination of excellence that truly shapes them into the successful, happy and confident young adults they are when they leave us each year.
We aim for everyone to start and finish their programme of study and we never give up. Progression into Sixth Form studies can be challenging and we appreciate the need to support our students with the increased demands of A Level study.
With our guidance, students develop good learning habits and provide them with the facilities to support continued learning. Learning to manage time and to build in purposeful relaxation is important. Our students learn to prioritise and achieve the essential balance between commitments, which is vital to being successful.
We challenge and celebrate our students so that they become strong, independent learners ready for university, higher level apprenticeships or employment.
Our careful guidance ensures that our students embark on courses that will test them and develop their skills and passions.
We guide students to choose course combinations that support university entrance or that are favoured by employers. Recently, over 90% of our students were accepted into their first choice university.
Learning is monitored and supported from day one to the end of courses. Timetabled lessons take up the majority of students’ time and therefore organisation, attendance and motivation are crucial.
