About the Partnership

Ethos

Blending tradition with a forward thinking approach, we strive to meet the requirements of young people about to make the transition into adulthood.  Our ambition for academic success is combined with a focus on personal development.  Our aim is for students to enjoy and value learning and to develop into responsible, caring and well rounded individuals.  A caring environment allows us to nurture individuality and a sense of belonging.

Community cohesion is important to us and maintaining links with parents and carers is integral to the success of our students.

Partnership 6th is an inclusive and non-selective organisation.  We believe in access to education and opportunity for all and we celebrate the diversity of our community.
 

Achieve

We have high expectations for everyone in our schools and set challenging academic and personal targets for all students.  We will expect you to be ambitious and hardworking and will encourage you to take responsibility for your own learning.

Our teachers aim to create programmes of study and lessons that stretch, challenge and support students and our broad, flexible curriculum offer will accommodate a variety of individual learning styles.
 

Aspire

We will encourage ambition and self improvement in all students whilst being aware that everyone has an equal part to play.Our extensive careers programme ensures that Partnership 6th students have the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed in life after school.  Every student will be offered individual planned support and advice, and we ensure that everyone has access to up to date information and research materials.

We are proud of the links we have with local employers and Higher Education establishments and appreciate the contribution they make to our careers programme and the development of employability skills.  Our Progression Accord with London South Bank University allows smooth progression onto a wide range of degree courses.

The majority of our students aspire to further their education with many gaining places on degree courses at some of the country’s leading Universities.
 

Contribute

Students will be expected to play an active role within their school community.  They are regarded as ambassadors and viewed as role models by younger pupils.  The roles of Prefects and School Captains are particularly prestigious, challenging and rewarding.

Students have the opportunity to undertake voluntary work or to help teachers with younger pupils in school.  Sixth Formers also organise a range of social, charity and fundraising events.

You will have the opportunity to take part in local and national competitions in a range of subject areas and to participate in whole school sport, creative and performing arts projects.

To enhance your experiences, we also offer a range of field and study trips to destinations inside and outside the UK.  In recent years, visits have been made to New York, Barcelona, Berlin and Rome.
 

Support

Partnership 6th provides a high standard of academic and pastoral support.  All students are assigned to a tutor group in their base school and a comprehensive tutorial programme has been designed to meet the needs of post 16 study.  Tutors guide students through their studies ensuring individual needs are met through support and advice.  Tutors also play a key role in monitoring academic performance.

The Sixth Form teams in each school are always available for consultation with both parents and students.  Listening to the views of students and parents is of paramount importance.  From help with course choices to advice about personal finances, our aim is to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible during your 6th Form studies.
