Welcome to Sunderland Sixth Form's Get Ahead page - it is brilliant to have you with us already, as next academic year's Year 12 students!

Sunderland Sixth Form offers 25 courses, to 450 students aged 16-19.  Our students have the highest achievement rates of any Sixth Form in the North-East, and 99% of our Sixth Form leavers progress to positive destinations; university, apprenticeship or employment.

We hope that you find this page really useful in helping you make the transition from school to Sixth Form - there are a series of important sections on this page, which will help answer any questions that you may have, support you in 'Getting Ahead' in the subjects that you would like to study and to introduce you to the Sixth Form staff.

The main things to point out:

• Subject transition tasks and resources can be found under the 'Get Ahead with your Subjects' tab.

• If you know people who haven't yet applied to the Sixth Form yet, it isn't too late - let them know! 

• If you need to contact us, you can email our admissions team (below), or your subject teachers by clicking on the 'Sixth Form Staff' tab.

We can't wait for you to start your new journey with us...we hope you're looking forward to your next steps too!!

Director of Sunderland Sixth Form

If you have applied to study at Sunderland Sixth Form, you will receive communication from the college admissions team about a 'Welcome to Sunderland Sixth Form' event on Thur 25th June 2025.

This event will give you an opportunity to attend workshops to introduce the 'Get Ahead' subject tasks , to help you get one step ahead for the next academic year!

You need to register to attend this Step Up event, and so to receive email communication about how to do so, you will need to have completed an application form to study with us...

If you haven't yet applied to the Sixth Form yet, see the section on 'How To Apply...' below.
