Our sixth form is an exciting and engaging place to study: a step up from the challenges of GCSE but with all the familiarity and support of a high school environment. We pride ourselves on our personalised approach and pastoral care – our students are part of a tight-knit community. Our experienced staff will support you every step of the way, with expert teaching, support and encouragement, and a shared passion for helping you succeed.

Thomas Paine sixth form is a fantastic bridge into the world of work or further study at university. We are ambitious for our students and our careers programme will help you get where you want to go. We go beyond academic qualifications. We will develop your life skills. We will challenge you and give you responsibility, through our students’ union, societies, and work experience programme.
With our cutting-edge facilities, we offer the best extracurricular activities – drama, dance, music, art and sport – both in dedicated sessions for our sixth formers and working with younger pupils.

Our prospectus gives you an overview of life at Thomas Paine Sixth Form, but we would love to welcome you to see it for yourself.
