Welcome to Watling Academy Sixth Form

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to Watling Academy’s Sixth Form. This is more than just the next stage in your education: it is an opportunity to shape your future within a community that values ambition, individuality, and excellence.

Our Sixth Form is built on the strong foundations of Watling Academy’s core values: Respect, Responsibility, and Kindness. These principles guide everything we do and create an environment where every student can thrive. Whether you are continuing your journey with us from Year 11 or joining from another school, you will find a vibrant, inclusive, and forward-thinking community ready to support and inspire you.

Here, you will benefit from high-quality teaching, personalised guidance, and a curriculum designed to challenge and empower you. Beyond the classroom, you’ll have access to enrichment opportunities that develop leadership, independence, and confidence, skills that will serve you well in higher education, apprenticeships, or the world of work.

Our vision is simple: to equip every young person with the knowledge, skills, and self-belief they need to succeed beyond school. By joining Watling Sixth Form, you are not just continuing your education, you are becoming part of something dynamic and ambitious, a community that celebrates achievement and prepares you for the future.

I look forward to welcoming you and working together to make your Sixth Form experience exceptional.

Our School Values

1

Respect

Respect for ourselves and others, accepting the value and existence of alternative opinions and viewpoints whilst understanding the parameters in which a successful school community has to operate.

2

Responsibility

All members of the community will be aware of the consequences of their actions and words and understand that the choices they make can have a long-term impact on others and the environment.

Kindness

Fundamentally linked to respect and responsibility. For us this means that students will be kind not just in what they do and think about others but also about themselves.
