Welcome to Sixth Form

A very warm welcome to The Ferrers Sixth Form – a vibrant, ambitious and supportive community where every student is known, valued and supported to achieve their very best.

At The Ferrers, we believe that Sixth Form is more than just the next step in education; it is a time to grow as independent, confident and compassionate young adults, ready to shape the world beyond school. Our focus is on academic excellence, personal development and preparing our students for the exciting opportunities that lie ahead, whether that be university, apprenticeships or employment.

We offer a broad and challenging curriculum delivered by dedicated subject specialists who know how to bring learning to life. Small class sizes, outstanding pastoral care and a culture of high expectations mean that every student receives the support and encouragement they need to thrive.

Beyond the classroom, our students take part in a rich programme of enrichment activities, leadership opportunities and community engagement – experiences that help them develop the skills, resilience and character to stand out in whatever path they choose.

We are immensely proud of our Sixth Form students – their achievements, their energy and their commitment to making a difference. Whether you are already part of The Ferrers family or joining us from another school, we look forward to welcoming you and helping you write the next chapter of your success story.

We have so much to offer but don’t just take our word for it, come and see for yourselves!

We are housed in our newly renovated and repurposed Post-16 Centre, providing outstanding, dedicated facilities for our students, including ‘Anita’s’, our exclusive Post-16 only coffee shop, an IT suite, study rooms and outdoor spaces.

Every student who studies with us is well-known, nurtured and individually supported through our dedicated mentoring programme, which allows us to provide focused guidance to help you to achieve your aspirations and fulfil your potential. 

We provide many opportunities to develop key skills when you join us, including Community Leadership and the chance to influence the direction of the Sixth Form by becoming a member of our Sixth Form Student Leadership Team.
