Sixth Form Introduction

Welcome to COLAI-6. We are a small and dynamic sixth form. Our aim is to provide our sixth form students with an outstanding academic experience that will prepare them exceptionally well for higher education and the career path of their choosing. We welcome applications from our current Year 11 students and from external candidates.

We offer a friendly and supportive learning environment, with a strong focus on academic rigour, self discipline and the highest educational aspirations. We support our students to achieve their very best and to equip themselves with the individualised support and smaller class sizes enabling our students to make outstanding progress.

Our primary focus is on providing a highly academic curriculum, with the majority of courses of offer being A Levels. We also have a vocational pathway for students who would benefit from this style of learning and assessment.

Thank you for your interest and we welcome your application.
