"Still Thinking About Sixth Form?
We get it the thought of “another two years of education” might feel a bit overwhelming. But trust me, choosing the right Sixth Form can make all the difference and for many of us, that place is Excelsior
When I was making my decision, I realised how valuable it is to continue my journey somewhere I already feel known, supported, and part of the community. Sixth Form isn’t easy A-Levels and BTECs push you but being in a familiar environment, with teachers who genuinely care and understand how you work, makes it that much more manageable
At Excelsior, the support is real You're not just another student you’re part of a team that wants to see you succeed. Whether it's academic guidance, wellbeing support, or opportunities to grow beyond the classroom, this school delivers.
This isn’t about staying comfortable it’s about setting yourself up for success in a place that’s invested in your future
So as you consider your next steps, ask yourself: Do I want to be somewhere that knows me, challenges me, and supports me every step of the way?
Excelsior Sixth Form is ready for you. "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail"
See you in September, future Year 12s!"
