We are delighted that you are considering The Holgate Academy sixth form as an option for the next stage of your educational journey. Our brand-new, dedicated, bespoke sixth form facility is now open and ready to welcome our students. It provides an inspiring environment for students to flourish both academically and socially, while also benefiting from our wider academy resources and staff.
We are proud of the efforts of our current sixth form students, who collaborated with the academy to develop the new centre, creating a welcoming, productive, and inspiring space tailored to their needs and preferences. The centre boasts several small and large interchangeable spaces for group or quiet study, meetings, and lessons. It also includes its own dedicated IT suite, a study support area, and a kitchen.
Our offer includes a wide variety of subjects and qualifications, along with numerous enrichment activities—all designed to help you succeed and feel confident and excited about joining us, no matter which secondary school you previously attended.
We are proud to provide an inclusive environment that caters to all students’ needs, offering both vocational and academic Level 3 subject options to support different learning styles and help every student find the path to success that suits them best.
Our team of specialist teachers will offer support and guidance in your chosen subjects, while our dedicated tutors will work with you to build both your academic and personal confidence.
Our pastoral provision ensures you have access to extracurricular opportunities aimed at enriching your experience and helping you get the most from your time with us. All of this will prepare you for your next steps—whether that be university, an apprenticeship, or employment.
Sixth form is a bridge that prepares you to take on greater responsibility. It offers new freedoms not available in years 7 to 11, and you will be expected to take an adult approach to learning, manage your time effectively, and meet expectations. However, the staff you know—and who know you—will always be on hand to offer support, guidance, and their time.
At The Holgate Academy Sixth Form, we are committed to making everyone feel valued, included, and empowered to succeed. We look forward to supporting you as you shape your future.
Mr Ashley Brown
Head of Sixth Form
