Leighton Park Sixth Form

The academic progress made by our Sixth Formers makes us the top performing school in Berkshire, and puts us in the top 1% of schools in England. Our students gain an average of 0.6 of a grade placing the School in the top ‘Well Above Average’ category. Our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) results place us as a high performing school, with an average of 35.5 points. Our most important consideration is to support students to choose the right programme for them. While some schools restrict the IBDP to their most able students we consider it an excellent programme for students with a broad range of interests and who love project-based learning. In recent years, our students have gone on to Oxbridge, medical degrees, art colleges, music conservatoires and many leading UK and international universities.

We like to think that our Sixth Form is different to most. We’ll do all we can to encourage and support your goals, but we’ll also give you a certain amount of freedom to do it your way. This makes us a bit more like a university campus – and it works, with our students achieving some of the very best academic progress in England.

Students are given close support by their academic tutors, with our tutor groups smaller than most schools and students seeing their tutors three times every day.
