Welcome to Sprowston Community Academy Sixth Form. You may be a current student at Sprowston or considering joining us; either way we welcome your application.

The purpose of the prospectus is to give you a clear idea of the curriculum choices we offer and to explain the experience you will receive by joining Sprowston Community Academy Sixth Form to study beyond your GCSEs.

My aspiration, as Head of Sixth Form, is to ensure that young people across the community enjoy access to a truly inspirational, inclusive and innovative curriculum, including a mix of vocational and academic Post-16 education choices. We will do this by creating a culture that demands and supports excellence, focused on developing successful study habits in students whilst using the expertise of our teachers. We are committed to providing a platform through which students can thrive and excel, enabling them to progress with confidence and to ‘open doors’ to the next stage of their lives. I simply believe that with hard work, a supportive culture and great teaching, all students can achieve. It is these foundations that underpin our ethos in the Sixth Form; together they allow students to achieve academic and vocational qualifications which support their progression to both world class universities and careers of choice and significance.

Our Open Evening and Taster Days offer opportunities to discuss course content with teachers and current students prior to applying for a place. We are also happy to answer questions about applications and admissions at any point. Please contact the school directly.

At Sprowston Community Academy Sixth Form, we understand that there are no shortcuts or easy fixes. Our aim is to ensure that students do not feel like they are just another number within a classroom. We try to provide the best all round education possible in a supportive and success-driven environment. As well as this, outside the normal classroom, there are some very exciting projects that our current Sixth Formers take the lead role in developing. These include the Allotment Project and the National Citizenship Service Award, both of which have been extremely popular additions, providing opportunities for our young people to develop personally and professionally. For your part, you just need to be enthusiastic about your learning, hardworking and keen to get involved in the classroom and beyond.

We welcome your application and look forward to you joining us.
