Stantonbury School Sixth Form

Welcome from the Head of Sixth Form

Leading Sixth Form is a real privilege and I am excited to join the Stantonbury Family. I am keen to build on some excellent practice and develop a sixth form built on challenge and support. It is our aim to create an ethos that is professional, motivated and successful, whilst always supporting individual students. As young adults who are getting ready to make their own way in the world, it is important we support our learners not only academically but also as well rounded citizens, and this comes through knowing our students well. Our main focus has to be achieving strong individual outcomes, and this is more likely with personalised support and a sense of belonging to a strong community, which we are proud to be building.

High expectations, a strong community and personalised support will help each Stantonbury Sixth Former to be the very best version of themselves.
We look forward to welcoming you for the next stage of your education.
