Sixth Form Industry-Led Curriculum

All subjects and programmes of study will soon be a part of our Industry-Led Curriculum which is launching from September 2023.

This innovative programme will embed employability skills development further into the curriculum to ensure that our students not only leave us with an excellent set of exam results, but also the highest level of employability and technical skill to compete nationally and globally.


Our Industry-led curriculum is launching September 2023!

This new, innovative and exciting curriculum will help bridge the gap between education and employment & will ensure that our students not only leave us with an excellent set of exam results, but also the highest level of employability and technical skill to compete nationally and globally

Students in Year 12 will continue to study the subjects that they have opted to take at Post 16 level, but they will also be able to engage in a number of industry-led enrichment opportunities which aim to put employability skills development at the heart of the curriculum so that students not only leave us with excellent academic qualifications but also the skills and qualities needed to succeed as a university graduate or higher-level apprentice in the future.

Each of our subject areas will ensure that the curriculum links to industry wherever possible and departmental staff and leaders will provide our students with a range of employability skills development opportunities to help grow the next generation of world-class employees who possess the highest level of academic knowledge, technical ability & employability skills to not only apply for the nation’s most competitive job roles, but also support the government’s strategy of boosting national productivity and global economic growth.
