Academic Life at Ackworth Sixth Form
Eleanor, Head Girl 2019
Upon joining Ackworth Sixth Form you will become part of a small form group and together you will begin an intensive and exciting period of study. Ackworth’s highly skilled, passionate teachers will stretch, support and empower you to reach your potential. As you academically adjust, you will have access to 24-hour wraparound support, and the reassurance, stability and continuity of a structured school day. We will help you to manage your workload and use your independence to take risks, make mistakes, to become more resilient and thrive as a happy, young person with greater autonomy. You can choose to make use of and create any opportunity that you believe will help you on your academic journey.
You are an individual
Ackworth’s Sixth Form is built upon the belief that a student’s quality of character is as important as intellectual growth and your form tutor will work with you to guide your progress. The individual learning experience you will receive is underpinned by outstanding pastoral care, to give our students emotional, spiritual and academic support. Teaching staff will help you to discover and nurture your talents, and instil self-belief and confidence. You will have access to a diverse peer group support network and have the time to discuss your strengths and weaknesses, your aspirations, and receive any support you may need. Your Sixth Form experience at Ackworth School will be personalised, flexible, dynamic and collaborative and you will be encouraged to question, challenge and take ownership of your progress.
