At The Petchey Academy Sixth Form our aim is to develop independent and accomplished learners, well prepared for success in whichever career pathway they decide to follow, and who contribute positively to the community of Dalston, Hackney and beyond.
We are committed to supporting our students to be fulfilled, happy and healthy, both in body and in mind.
These pages will give you more information about each subject, including the content that you will cover during the course, how it is assessed and what it could lead on to in terms of future careers, to enable you to make informed choices.
We offer a choice of A Levels or BTECs to enable you to select the best options for you and your future career ambitions.
Sixth Form students have FREE access to our Sports Club and exercise classes.
We also have a friendly subsidised cafeteria serving great coffee, snacks, sandwiches, salads and a healthy lunch every day.
Daily seminar time with your Tutor means that students are extremely well supported by staff that know them personally.
