Sixth Form at Sandwell Academy

At Sandwell Academy we are proud of our successful Post 16 provision. Each year we are joined by a number of external students, who are attracted by the unique learning environment that Sandwell Academy has to offer.

Our Sixth Form comprises of 350 students who study a wide range of academic and vocational courses. Students have the choice of studying three or four A levels, BTEC programmes (equivalent up to three A levels) or a combination of A levels with BTEC programmes.

Sixth Form students are supported by strong careers and education guidance, providing a road map for every student and preparing them for the next stage of their life whether it be university, employment with training or an apprenticeship.

As with all students at the Academy, Sixth Form students access additional learning support and enrichment through Session 3, either individually or in small groups. University visits, the Duke of Edinburgh Award up to Gold standard and a wide array of sports are amongst the many extended curriculum opportunities available to students.

No student will leave the school without a clear career plan. To support students to reach this goal, they commonly receive an enhanced work experience in Year 12 to aid with career planning.
