KS5
Year 12 & 13 - Level 3 RSL Level 3 Diploma in Creative and Performing Arts
Mascalls Academy Sixth Form Centre is housed in the heart of our academy, encouraging our post 16 students to feel that they are an integral part of our school.
Our post 16 curriculum is designed to prepare students for real-life scenarios. Through our high standards & expectations, students leave us well prepared for whatever next steps they want to take whether that is employment in industry, a degree course or apprenticeship.
Although the sixth form centre is on-site, in the Performing Arts department we have worked hard to create a culture whereby our students are dedicated, resilient and committed to driving their success. Our students celebrate other's successes and motivate each other to achieving their goals.
