Oxford Spires Academy has a popular and expanding Sixth Form with an extensive range of courses, including courses for high achieving students and for those learning English as an additional language. We have expanded our A level offering to 27 subjects, along with two Level 3 BTEC subjects – and welcome engaged, ambitious young people to join our welcoming and outward-looking Sixth Form.
The Sixth Form are leaders of the school and have positions of responsibility including a shadow leadership team, House Captains and Head Boy and Girl. Sixth Form students are involved in the wider life of the Academy, which enables them to flourish as young adults and to seek competitive university and work places.
New College’s Step-Up Programme is designed to inspire and support state-school students throughout Year 11, 12 and 13.
It attempts to ensure that students recognise Oxford as a realistic and achievable option for them in the future, and are fully equipped and supported to make a competitive application.
Crucially, it is a fully-funded, sustained-contact scheme. Students have regular, consistent contact with the College’s Outreach team over three years (two years for students attending a sixth form college).
