Welcome
We are delighted to confirm that Houlton School Sixth Form will open in 2026-27. Join us for our Sixth Form Open Evening from 6.00pm to 8.30pm on Thursday 2nd October 2025.
The Sixth Form students who join us will be instrumental in the next steps of our journey in the school's development.
Post 16 study is an exciting time as it provides students with the chance to study their subjects of choice in depth, master independent learning and engage with the leadership and strategic direction of the school. We expect our students to challenge themselves to continually improve; to demonstrate excellence; courageousness and kindness in their actions. Our students will be supported so they can excel and will have access to tailored pastoral care to ensure that they reach their full potential.
We have the privilege of occupying a purpose-built Sixth Form provision which sits at the top of our Grade-II Listed Transmission Hall. Sixth Form students have the advantage of further purpose-built areas around the school to support them in their independent learning, including Post 16 study spaces, work hubs and separate facilities for food and refreshment to complement the World Class facilities across our curriculum areas.
Wider curriculum opportunities are also extensive, allowing students to build skills for the future, developing their personal attributes and contributing to the wider community. Students will also have the opportunity to take on key roles in the school such as 'College Leader' and become part of our bespoke leadership programme.
Our personal development programme will ensure that students are nurtured as individuals, given advice and guidance on their future options. Whether applying through UCAS, to an apprenticeship provider, planning a gap year or going into the world of work directly, our team will ensure that each student is given detailed mentorship to help them achieve their aspirations.
We look forward to welcoming our first cohort and supporting them to help us shape and develop the culture and ethos of our Sixth Form provision. If at any point you have any questions or would like to visit us for an informal chat, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
