Welcome To Our Sixth Form

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Sixth Form at Gosfield School.

I am delighted to have led our Sixth Form since 2019. We’re big enough to ensure our students have a full Sixth Form experience and a wealth of opportunities in curricular, sports and leadership, but small enough to ensure that students receive the academic and pastoral care needed to achieve their goals at this critical time in their education. Our students consistently achieve the target grades required for the university and degree courses of their choice and in recent yearsmany have achieved entrance to their first choice universities.

Our Sixth Form is a family-based environment where our students thrive, taking on additional responsibility roles and being role models to younger pupils throughout the school. Our Sixth Form Centre is at the heart of our main school building and very much part of our whole school, set in the tranquil surrounding of our 110-acre estate.

Sixth Form success is a partnership. Achieving the academic, arts and sporting outcomes is coupled to developing critical life skills and experiences to prepare our most senior students to leave us as well-rounded young adults. Our teaching staff are passionate about what they do and they share their specialist subject enthusiasm with our students to ensure the best possible outcomes.

I would be absolutely delighted to meet you and show you why a Sixth Form experience at Gosfield is so special.

“I cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention that I received in the Sixth Form at Gosfield. I joined the school in Year 7 and exceeded my expectations at GCSE and it was an obvious decision to stay for the Sixth Form at Gosfield. Following my A Level results, I got in to my first choice university and am really enjoying the experience. Thank you Gosfield!”

“I joined Gosfield School in the Sixth Form and absolutely loved it. Coming from a large school, I was amazed by the personal attention and guidance that I received from my A-Level teachers, not only in the subjects I chose but also in life experiences. My A-Level results were really good and when I collected them, my teachers were even more excited than I was!”
