Expanding our Sixth Form
Our post-16 provision will be growing – in more ways than one! As well as increasing the number of sixth form students to up to 350, we’ll be expanding the range of courses on offer.
The sixth form is a great opportunity for students to extend their learning through vocational and academic courses, enterprise activities and work experience. This allows them to gain the necessary skills and qualifications to progress their education at college or university, or seek employment.
Both predecessor schools are justifiably proud of their sixth form, with over 170 young people studying A Level, AS Level and BTEC courses. The Knole Academy sixth form will be fully co-educational. There will be something for every level of ability in our post-16 curriculum; for example, recently introduced courses include hairdressing and a certificate in financial services. Please ask to see our sixth form prospectus for more details.
We aim to improve our sixth form offer as the academy develops by providing an even greater choice of courses,
with a focus on delivering programmes in the academy’s areas of specialism. Close collaboration with other West Kent Learning Federation partners will provide access to a wide variety of academic, vocational and applied qualifications. In addition – with the support of our Co-Sponsor, Sevenoaks School – we will be exploring the introduction of the International Baccalaureate.
We look forward to welcoming our new sixth form students when they take part in two days of induction on 6 and 7 July, including team-building activities and subject taster sessions.
