Sixth Form
At Lodge Park Academy Sixth Form, we believe that true success stems from being an informed and well-rounded individual. We provide an environment where students grow academically, socially, and personally—equipping them with the resilience, critical thinking skills, and self-confidence needed to overcome challenges and achieve greatness in whatever path they choose.
In recent years Lodge Park's Sixth Form has grown into specialised accommodation including an excellent common room as well as a number of specialist teaching rooms designed for A Level work.
Our commitment to Sixth Form students at Lodge Park Academy:
- High academic standards

Why Study Post 16
The transition from Year 11 into the Sixth Form is challenging as it requires a significant ‘step-up’ in terms of the academic skills and knowledge demanded by Level 3 courses in Key Stage 5.
Sixth Form is a bridge between the highly structured learning environment of GCSE and the independence of university and the world of work.
We are committed to providing a supportive learning community so that all students can achieve their potential, not only for the duration of their time in Sixth Form, but in the world beyond.
We have a rigorous system of academic support if a student is struggling in a particular subject. Through a series of measures we strive to enable these students to get back on track with their learning. Academic guidance measures include progress reports, tutor and teacher mentoring and parental meetings. We place a high value on working with parents to support students to fulfill their academic potential. There is also a bespoke ‘Russell Group programme’ for students aiming for the most competitive universities.
Students in the Sixth Form have their own area for supervised study when they are not in classrooms. Students can sit alone or together for collaborative learning or alternatively work in the library.
As well as studying three subjects’ students at Lodge Park also study the ASDAN AoPE Qualification. The Award of Personal Effectiveness (AoPE) is a nationally recognised qualification which carries UCAS points and is accepted at a wide range of Universities.
What it means to be a student at Lodge Park Sixth Form
Below we asked our students why they chose Lodge Park Academy and what it means to them to be part of our Sixth Form.
"It's very different from being in lower school as you are treated with a lot of respect and challenged to be the best version of yourself. I get a lot more independence and have a great pastoral team to support me."
---
"This Sixth Form has been such a good decision for me as it is very supportive and has given me so many opportunities in helping me pursue the career I want."
---
“Staying on for Sixth Form was the best decision for me because I feel confident in the support that we are given and also the opportunities and independence given to us.”
---
“I chose this Sixth Form because when I looked at my options it was Lodge Park that made me feel the most welcomed and comfortable. The lessons I have are challenging and enjoyable and the facilities available to the Sixth Form are amazing.”
---
“I chose Lodge Park Sixth Form for many different reasons. I am familiar with the teachers, building and classroom so I decided to stay rather than adapt to another sixth form. Also, Lodge Park Sixth Form offered all the subjects I wanted to study as well as all the facilities. My older brother had completed his 2 years previously at Lodge Park Sixth Form and got into university before I had joined. He told me that he enjoyed his time there and would recommend it to me. The support I get is fantastic.”
---
"At Lodge Park Sixth Form, they have a supportive pastoral team that help you deal with increasing responsibilities."
---
“Lodge Park Sixth Form enabled me to study the subjects I really wanted to. The Sixth Form block offers a mature area for students to be during breaks and private study time. The staff push us to achieve our best and the pastoral team are always there if we have an issue to discuss. The Sixth Form Team give us so many opportunities to develop our leadership skills.”
