Why Join the Sixth Form at Horsforth
Results
Our results speak volumes, for four consecutive years, from 2022 to 2025 we’ve delivered some of the most outstanding A Level and vocational outcomes amongst all state schools in Leeds, setting the benchmark for success.
Campus
In September 2022 we opened our new campus, a dedicated space for our students to study. The facilities include an auditorium, classrooms and state of the art science labs and IT facilities along with our café, Common Grounds, featuring a barista station, booths, sofas and work stations.
Enrichment
Our programme is designed to broaden your horizons, build valuable life skills, and help you grow as a confident, capable individual. With over 100 activities to choose from, every student has the opportunity to explore new interests and develop talents. Whether it’s learning sign language, becoming a qualified sports leader, joining mentoring schemes, volunteering in the local community, gaining first aid certification, or contributing to our school newspaper and social media channels – there’s something for everyone.
Support
Our sixth form is a stepping-stone to employment or university. Students can be as independent as they like, but we are always here to support, nurture and guide. Our dedicated team includes form tutors, a Careers and UCAS Co-ordinator, a Pastoral Support Officer and a Study Support and Attendance Officer, all devoted to our students.
Adventure
Students have the chance to go on some amazing adventures around the world as well as closer to home. From Robin Hood’s Bay and Manchester to Kyoto in Japan and the Sacred Valley in Peru.
Golf Academy
We offer a golf scholarship alongside students’ study. This includes membership at Cookridge Hall golf course, plus golf lessons delivered by a PGA qualified coach. A fantastic opportunity for those wanting to pursue golfing careers as we have professional links with US scholarship programmes.
Feel Good Factor
Our sixth form is about getting students to where they want to be, but we have fun along the way! Dressing up for Children in Need, charity bake sales, theatre trips, staff vs student sporting fixtures, cooking lessons for language students and our Year 13 prom. Our students work so hard, so it’s great to throw in some downtime with friends too!
