THIS ISSixth Form Academic

Core Academic Programme

Sherfield delivers academic excellence that outperforms regional and national averages, year after year. With 41% A–A* and 67% A–B* over the past three years, plus some of the strongest value-added scores in the country, our Sixth Formers consistently exceed expectations.

Small teaching groups allow for tailored learning, deeper discussion and meaningful teacher-student relationships. Students are inspired to think critically, question confidently and work independently, skills demanded by leading universities.

Sherfield offers a powerful blend of academic pathways:

• A-Levels

• BTECs and AAQs

• The International Advanced Diploma (IAD) - a groundbreaking qualification combining rigorous study with real-world skill development and partnerships with institutions like Yale and Durham.

STEM students receive their own Up Learn subscription, where 97% of completers achieve A or A*. No state school or college offers this as standard.

Why Sherfield Sixth Form Is Worth the Investment

Families choose Sherfield because:

• Teaching is genuinely personalised, not mass-delivered

• Students receive 1:1 university mentoring throughout Years 12–13

• Learning is enriched with industry-based qualifications, leadership training, and research opportunities

• Academic outcomes open doors to elite universities worldwide

We offer a broad and vibrant range of subjects, with most students electing to study three A-Levels or BTEC equivalents and participate in a wide array of extra and co-curricular activities.

Studying for A-Levels and/or Level 3 BTECs allows students to develop a deep and passionate knowledge of their chosen subjects due to the depth and breadth of the various subject curricula.

They also underpin applications to higher education and hence sit at the core of our Sixth Form curriculum. Learning at this level involves more significant contributions from the students.

"Support from A Level subject teachers has been great. Lessons are tailored and I get lots of personalised help. I often go to my teachers outside of lessons and they always spend time helping me perfect my knowledge and exam technique"Will, Year 13 Student

“The level of support given by my teachers has been fantastic especially as I know that others at different schools and colleges have not been so lucky.”
