Welcome to The Abbey Sixth Form

Sixth Form will probably be the best experience of your school career. At The Abbey you will be part of a bustling, energetic and purposeful environment. Students are ambitious and motivated: it is a place where bright young minds work together to achieve academic excellence every day.

This drive and commitment is complemented by the equally important qualities of kindness and care. The Sixth Form Common Room is a joyful place, welcoming and accepting in equal measure.

Our Sixth Form Centre is bright, stunning and stylish. With space to relax, a cafe, and purpose-built classrooms and study areas, students take the lead in their own learning and enrichment and wider activities. The choice of co-curricular is vast. From Gold Duke of Edinburgh, to Social Enterprise, to Model United Nations, and all sorts in between, there are plenty of possibilities. As School Officers, Sixth Formers spearhead events and school life. These adventures enhance the leadership skills which will prepare you so well for life beyond.

Our Sixth Formers are comfortable in their own skins: it’s obvious in the way they relax in the Common Room. We value friendship highly and understand that being happy is the foundation of success. We are proud of our diverse student body and are interested in hearing every student’s voice. We understand that good mental well-being, personal fulfilment and a sense of hope and possibility are what make the Sixth Form an exciting and supportive environment.

I encourage you to come to The Abbey and let us show you around. I hope that you get the same feeling that I did on my very first visit. There is a particular buzz and warmth, an atmosphere and energy, which you can only experience in person. I would be delighted to welcome you.

Mrs Charlotte Hart
Director of the Sixth Form
