Crosfields Sixth Form (Opening 2027)

Welcome to the Crosfields Sixth Form

Crosfields School is delighted to be opening its Sixth Form in September 2027 – an exciting new chapter in our history. Building on the strong foundations of our all-through education, the Sixth Form will offer an inspiring environment where pupils can develop academically, personally and socially as they prepare for life beyond school. This new provision reflects the values that define Crosfields: ambition, integrity, kindness, growth and a commitment to helping every pupil become the very best version of themselves.

Discover more at our forthcoming Sixth Form Options Evening from 17:30 – 19:30 on Thursday 12 November 2026.

Our Vision

Crosfields Sixth Form will be a vibrant and ambitious community, where academic excellence goes hand in hand with outstanding pastoral care. Every pupil will be known, valued and supported as an individual, while their leadership, independence and character are carefully nurtured.

Learning will extend well beyond the classroom, with a rich breadth of experiences designed to inspire curiosity and confidence. Our aim is for pupils to leave Crosfields ready to make a meaningful and assured contribution to the world.

Meet our Head of Sixth Form, Clemency Woolner

“I am so looking forward to joining Crosfields School at this exciting moment in its expansion. With many years experience of teaching and tutoring Sixth Form, I have a great belief in and passion for the transformative power of these last two years of school and know that Crosfields Sixth Form will be a characteristically busy and brilliant place to be.”

“I am a Religious Studies and Philosophy specialist, with over 15 years experience teaching in the Independent Sector, most recently as Head of RS, but with previous Senior Leadership experience too. In my free time, I love reading and spending time outdoors with my husband and two young daughters.”

The Sixth Form Experience

Pupils will benefit from a varied and enriching academic programme, personalised support and mentoring, a strong co-curricular offer, and a range of leadership and service opportunities.

Crosfields is known for its warm and inclusive community, and our Sixth Form pupils will be encouraged to champion this ethos as role models within the wider school.

The school day will follow current Key Stage 4 timings, with registration at 8.30am and lessons continuing until 4.30pm. Pupils will also have the opportunity to leave the site at designated times throughout the day.

Academic Pathways

Our pupils will have access to a broad range of A Levels and vocational qualifications, enabling them to pursue their individual passions and aspirations.

STEAM	Humanities	Literacy and Languages	Creative Active
Maths	History	English Literature	Art
Further Maths	Geography	French	Design Technology
Biology	Business	Spanish	PE
Physics	Economics		Music
Chemistry	Religious Studies		Drama
Computer Science	Politics		Photography
Psychology

Alongside A Levels, a range of BTEC qualifications will be offered to ensure flexible pathways that suit different learners. All pupils will also complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), further developing the skills and independence needed for Higher Education and beyond.

Small class sizes and an individualised, ambitious approach to teaching will underpin the Sixth Form experience, supporting the strong academic outcomes for which Crosfields is known.

Entry Requirements

Crosfield’s Sixth Form will be an academically ambitious, but also an inclusive place to learn. We recognise that all pupils have different abilities, career aspirations and skills. As such, it is crucial that the pathway a pupil embarks on is appropriate for their futures and one they will be successful in.

Standard A Level Pathway:

8 GCSEs at Grade 5 or above (including Maths and English)

Pupils then need to meet subject-specific requirements in Maths and the Sciences (where a grade 7 is the minimum expectation). For Further Maths, a grade 9 is required.

Where pupils do not meet these requirements different subject combinations will be discussed with the Deputy Head Academic and Head of Sixth Form.

Alternative Pathway:

Where pupils do not meet the general grade requirements for the standard A Level pathway, this does not preclude them from a place in Crosfield’s Sixth Form. Alternative pathways, such as a combination of A Levels and BTECs will be considered. This will be discussed with the Deputy Head Academic and Head of Sixth Form, with the aim to create an adjusted pathway, that will allow pupils to flourish in the Sixth Form.

The Sixth Form facilities

Plans are underway for dedicated Sixth Form spaces designed to support independent study, collaboration, social connection and specialist teaching. The Sixth Form Centre will be located in Chestnuts, a substantial building near the Sports Centre.

A full refurbishment will begin towards the end of 2026, and we look forward to sharing progress along the way. We are particularly excited to be working in partnership with our pupils to design spaces that reflect their needs and aspirations.

Together, they are helping to shape a dynamic and welcoming Sixth Form environment.

Enrichment & Co-Curricular Opportunities

Enrichment and co-curricular opportunities will continue into the Sixth Form and we are looking forward to seeing our Sixth Formers lead a range of activities and societies. Pupils will attend a range of local day and residential trips in addition to exciting abroad trips such as skiing, undertaking marine reef conservation in Thailand, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and more.

One of the benefits of an all through school are the leadership opportunities across Seniors and younger pupils alike. These are a really special feature of a Crosfields education. More information will be shared as programmes are confirmed.

Preparing for the Future

Students will benefit from tailored university and careers guidance, including support with applications, interviews, work experience and professional partnerships.

The Unifrog platform will play a key role in this provision, alongside guidance from our dedicated Head of Careers. Pupils will be fully supported in applying to universities, apprenticeships and pathways in the UK and internationally.

Admissions and Entry

Applications for the first cohort, joining in September 2027, will close in the Autumn Term of 2026.

To find out more, we encourage families to speak with our Admissions team or attend our Whole School Open Morning on 20 November 2026. Taster opportunities will also be available from September 2026.
