Welcome from the Head of Sixth Form

Welcome to Huish Sixth

Our new Sixth Form centre offers the very best in facilities for students in which to learn, develop and prepare for future careers.

Huish Sixth is a dedicated Post Sixteen centre which incorporates teaching and seminar rooms, private study areas, social areas and cafe, art exhibition spaces and an auditorium.

Huish sixth students enjoy dedicated support with a personal tutor, sixth form administrator and bespoke careers advice.  Students also have access to dedicated IMac and PC suites and enjoy use of Huish Leisure throughout their time here. 

The extensive enrichment programme ensures that all students make the very best of their time and gives them the best preparation for the future. Huish Sixth represents the very best in post 16 education - building on the success of Huish Episcopi Academy to provide a complete education for our students.

Making the right choice and planning ahead in Year 11 can be very daunting, albeit an exciting time in a student’s life. For many there is the attraction of work, income and becoming an independent person. The reality for everyone is that we are becoming better qualified as a nation and therefore the need for recognised qualifications and enhanced life skills has never been greater.
 
We offer a wide range an extensive choice of AS and A2 Levels, Applied A level Courses and BTEC Diplomas. Huish Sixth offers a broad range of opportunities within an environment which is supportive without being restrictive. Students are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for their decisions and actions, preparing them for the world of work or further education. We have close links with the University of Exeter and Bristol as well as Oxford and many other institutions.
 
 Huish Sixth is able to offer much more than pure academic study. Our enrichment programme allows students to develop new interests; whilst initiatives such as Community Sports Leader Award, Duke of Edinburgh Award, Arts Award, debating, and in-class support allow students to broaden their experiences, develop lifelong skills and gain confidence. The social life in the sixth form is vibrant with regular social events.  We continue to develop our extracurricular opportunities with sports teams.
 
Huish Sixth aims to provide an outstanding all round education in the very best of dedicated environments. The environment within the Sixth Form is one of respect, understanding, and inclusion.
