One of the most asked questions from our families is when are you going to open a Sixth Form?
We have had some of the best GCSE results in the Borough since 2018 and the progression our students make with us after they join us is in the top 10% of the country.

Message from the Head of the Sixth Form
We want to ensure that students achieve the best possible outcomes academically and achieve well beyond their potential.
We focus on ensuring that students are adequately prepared for the next stage of their lives after they finish Year 13. It is vital that students are supported to transition into and out of the Sixth Form. As such, the Sixth Form has a comprehensive careers and employability programme that will upskill all our students.
Whether that be a student who wishes to continue with higher education at university, or those who may wish to leave post compulsory education and transition into the world of work. Irrespective of what any student intends to do with their career, all will be able to access an in-depth and tailored Careers Information and Guidance Programme.
All students participate within the Sixth Form Enrichment Programme that will allow them to volunteer within a range of different contexts. This will not only be within the school, but wider community. Students could volunteering in local primary schools or volunteer in local charitable organisations such as soup kitchens or homeless shelters. This will afford students the opportunity to develop the aforementioned soft skills such as; confidence, communication, resilience, tolerance and integrity.
The enrichment programme supports students to embody our school ethos and STRIVE values within Heron Hall and also the local and wider community.
