Why Choose NTC Sixth Form?
Whilst many of our Year 11 students choose to stay on into our sixth form, we also welcome applications from young men and women from other schools who wish to take advantage of all that we have to offer.
Here are some reasons why you should join our successful and inspirational sixth form.
Bespoke pathways
With four pathways on offer, including our Level 2 Pathway, Level 3 Pathway, IBCP Pathway and Academies Pathway, we ensure that students are studying courses which are suited to their individual aptitudes, abilities and ambitions.
Exceptional success
We are one of the top performing sixth forms in the borough in terms of progress, with students securing places at some of the best universities in the country, taking up high quality apprenticeships, or entering full-time employment.
Personalised support
Small teaching groups allow for an unrivalled level of personalised support and increased contact time.
Specialist staff
A highly skilled and committed Sixth Form team consisting of specialist teachers who are experts in their field and passionate about their subject, and a dedicated pastoral Learning Coach team to offer guidance and oversee both academic and personal progress
Future ready
Access to careers and UCAS guidance, including mock interviews, personal statement and CV workshops and support, work experience opportunities, careers fairs and workshops with external business and professionals.
Unique initiatives
Through our unique PQLI (Professional Qualification of Leadership and Innovation) Programme, students work hard to gain volunteering hours by supporting the school, taking on responsibilities and contributing to the local community. This develops students’ character, values, leadership and service - vital in the current climate of high competition for aspirational jobs - and is thus an excellent addition to personal statements and CVs.
Enriching experiences
We organise many highly rewarding and life-changing trips in this country and abroad. Some complement students’ academic study, while others introduce them to new experiences and cultures. In addition, there are a vast number of clubs and extracurricular activities on offer for students to participate in or even lead themselves.
Enviable facilities
Our distinct Sixth Form area offers a library, a supervised study area and specialist classrooms. There are computers to use, in addition to the laptop each student receives, plus free access to fully equipped sports and gym facilities. There are then areas to relax and socialise, including a café run by our sixth formers.
