Sixth Form
Being a Sixth Form student is very different from the life you have been used to. Study at Key Stage 5 is much harder – it demands a much greater sense of responsibility for the workload, a greater intellectual and academic awareness and above all, it requires consistent and considerable hard work. We believe that the next two years are an important stage in education when students need to develop the skills of self-management, self-discipline, independence and responsibility in order to progress successfully into the world of work or Higher Education. Although students are not required to wear Academy uniform in the Sixth Form, they are expected to dress smartly at all times, wearing clothes that are suitable for an indoor, academic and working environment. Students should feel happy to attend a job interview in what they are wearing. Click here to view the full dress code.
Greensward Academy offers a purpose built Sixth Form block complete with classrooms, a Sixth Form Study Room with an ICT Suite and a Sixth Form Common Room.
