Cambridge Heath Sixth Form opened in September 2009 as the joint initiative of three successful schools: Morpeth, Oaklands and Swanlea.

By working together to combine our skills and expertise, we are able to provide an exceptional learning environment with outstanding resources. Cambridge Heath Sixth Form has the facilities of all three schools, plus a newly refurbished centre.

We offer a wide variety of courses, including courses from the specialisms of the three schools: • Business, ICT and Enterprise • Science • Visual and Performing Arts.

OFSTED has recognised the outstanding achievements of the three schools. We are confident that at 16-19 we can build on our significant achievements with 14-16 year olds.
