Mrs Cox

Strategic leader/ Head of Sixth Form

Students come first at the Academy, and it is no different in the Sixth Form. We deliver academic excellence, a broad co-curriculum and a comprehensive mentoring package that enables you to reach your true potential.

Our Academy Sixth Form offer includes:

• A full range of academic courses (A Levels)
• BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Sport 
• Strong pastoral care with a focus on individual support and guidance
• A variety of social and enrichment activities

Our aim is to work alongside you to gain excellent qualifications and prepare you for the outside world- to ensure that you survive and thrive independently – to successfully manage your lives beyond school.

Moving into sixth form is very much a transition from traditional learning to an emphasis on independent thinking and self-motivated study. We are so proud every year to see our Year 13 students leaving the school as confident, interesting and intellectually inquisitive young adults, equipped not just with qualifications but with a rich diversity of experiences and skills, and an appetite for new challenges.

A message from our Head Girl and Head Boy

Sixth Form study at South Nottinghamshire Academy focuses on the development of individuals academically and socially, giving students a chance to transition into their authentic self within a supportive environment. Post-16 study offers a plethora of classes taught by experienced, knowledgeable teachers, ensuring pupils fulfil their potential in the classroom.

Alongside timetabled lessons, students will be allocated study periods, where individuals have a varied choice of locations to study at. In the Maple building, students can choose to collaborate with others or work alone, encouraging a sense of unity within the school community whilst supplying pupils with freedom in their learning. Apply here at South Nottinghamshire Academy to widen your horizons, gain more opportunities and find your passion.

The best thing about this Sixth Form is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the help and support from the teachers and the facilities such as the library for study periods. I have really enjoyed the independence we are given and the opportunity to organise our own study in free periods. I am glad I chose here because of the facilities and the teaching. Studying here for my A levels, I have gained writing skills and social skills as well as independence, which makes me feel confident about going to university. I know I will be able to cope. - Year 13 student
