Holgate sixth form is a place where you’re known, supported, and encouraged to grow. I make Holgate, Holgate makes me is about the pride our students feel in shaping their sixth form experience, and how that experience, in turn, helps shape who they become. Here, we perform in the present, respect the past, and plan for the future, together. From supportive staff to a welcoming environment, our community is built around helping you succeed and recognising your value as part of our whole school community.

Our students

Our students each have their own story to tell. In these short videos, they share what it’s like to be part of Holgate sixth form — from the subjects they study to the support they’ve received and the opportunities they’ve taken along the way.

Suzanna

One of the options I’m looking at pursuing post 18 is medicine and Holgate’s really pushed me to find relevant work experience in both year 10 and year 12.

Lewie

My passions are mainly based in creative areas. Anything I can do that is really hands-on, I’m all for, and that is what I really like to do. Recently, I made a campaign for a local fashion business that I really enjoyed doing.

Ella

I use to do all the shows all the way through year 7 to 11. Now I help out with them — I was stage manager for the last one. I find them really exciting and it’s nice to meet new people.

Ryan

My passions are photography and I want to be in the policing or law sector for a job, in some capacity, in the future.

Holly

After A levels, I’m planning on going to university to study psychology. I think it’s really interesting to understand everyone’s behaviour from many points of view.
