Arden is justifiably proud of its impressive reputation for being one of the best performing comprehensive schools in the country. Our Sixth Form is a vital part of making Arden a wonderful place to learn and grow. The Sixth Form ethos is to achieve academic excellence within an outstanding and supportive environment. We are particularly proud of the results Year 13 achieved in 2022 with an average grade of B+. Nationally, when grades went down because of Covid, Arden's improved. 15 students gained at least 3 A*s and almost half of all grades were either A or A*. There were 91 A*s, 137 As and 156 Bs. These outstanding results are a testament to the resilience, determination and effort of each student, the expert teaching they received and the support from the pastoral team.

Teaching and learning at Arden is of the highest quality: it is delivered by inspiring, highly dedicated specialist teachers to students who want to make the best of every opportunity. We provide tremendous opportunities for students who recognise the value of learning and who have the drive and ambition to reach their full personal, professional and academic potential.

We are particularly proud of the fact that, at Arden, a fully structured pastoral support network is in place to guide your decision-making, support your progress and to help you plan for the next steps to fulfilling your aspirations.

The choices you make at this stage can have a profound effect on your future. A key step is choosing where to study. The superb academic performance of our Sixth Form students, which has been maintained throughout the challenges of the past two years, attests to the superb choice that Arden would be for you. Arden welcomes students who are diligent, hardworking, ambitious and independently minded - young adults who deserve the finest education we can deliver.

If you work with us, Arden Sixth Form will provide you with the academic success and personal development you are searching for. We will work tirelessly to help you develop into a happy, successful adult with a brilliant future open to you.
