We strongly advocate developing a student’s sense of the world outside of the classroom, developing curiosity, ambition, and global awareness. With this in mind, we are proud of the supportive environment and sense of community which exists within the sixth form and the academy itself. Whilst in our sixth form, each student is offered individual and impartial careers advice and guidance. We are incredibly proud to provide a structure and aid in planning and writing personal statements, which helps our students to make informed decisions about their future Post 18. Bespoke UCAS, apprenticeship, and employability sessions enable students to choose the right pathway for them and fully prepare for the next chapter of their lives. Together with the Leigh Academies Trust Engagement Team and Careers Advisers, personal tutors offer tailored advice and guidance in order to help students progress within their chosen careers.

We work in close partnership with the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, and the University for the Creative Arts. Our provision includes opportunities for students to find out more about university study by visiting university campuses and interacting with ambassadors. All of our students also benefit from opportunities to hear from current apprentices and apprenticeship providers as an alternative to the ‘traditional path’ taken to achieve an undergraduate degree. This, together with a range of guest speakers, national and international trips and bespoke workshops, helps you to develop the softer skills which your future employers are crying out for!
