At Ernesford Grange Sixth form, we pride ourselves on providing an engaging, diverse and successful learning experience for every student. Our pupils benefit from outstanding instruction in a variety of subject areas and the chance to participate in a stimulating extracurricular programme. The Sixth Form received a "Good" rating from inspectors during our most recent OFSTED inspection, and they praised the pupils' attitude. Please click here for additional information about the Post-16 Curriculum. Please click here for additional information about the Post 16 Prospectus. Over the past year, I have experienced wonderful support. We take the time to understand each student's individual needs and work closely with them to provide the opportunities and support they need to be successful. The academic side of the 6th Form is very important to us and results have always been impressive with the majority of student choosing to continue their education at university or as part of an apprenticeship scheme. In addition to their outstanding academic performance, we are extremely proud of the extracurricular accomplishments of our kids. In 2017 we received the 'Student of the year' award in the Employability UK programme and James Aitkin was a winner at the Rotary Awards for producing one of the top four A Level projects in the city. All of our sixth-graders deserve a lot of praise for their accomplishments. One of the top four A Level projects in the city was produced by Aitkin, which earned a prize at the Rotary Awards. All of our sixth-graders deserve a lot of praise for their accomplishments. James Aitken and Mr. Kobrin enthusiastically displaying the project that won an award.
