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 amongst the best performing schools in the world, with an average of 35 points. This is an exceptional achievement given that our entrance criteria for Sixth Form of five grade 6s or above is lower than our highly academically selective contemporaries. In recent years, our students have gone on to Oxbridge, medical degrees, art colleges, music conservatoires and many leading UK and international universities.
