Sixth Form

We are tremendously proud of the success we have established during the eleven years that the Sixth Form has been open at Ash Green. Many of our students go on to university to study a wide variety of subjects including Medicine, Veterinary Science, Computing and Artificial Intelligence, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy, Law, Sport and Exercise Science, Midwifery and Nursing amongst many subjects.

We have had students attend prestigious universities, including the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Birmingham, Warwick, Durham, York and other Russell Group Universities. In addition to this, we have had students achieve places on degree level apprenticeships in policing, mechanical engineering and IT. Our focus is on supporting students to achieve a place in line with their individual aspirations.

At AGS Sixth Form, we pride ourselves on our student-centric approach to systems and policies, through which we are able to provide opportunities for individualised provision to support the academic, pastoral and personal development of our students. To this end, we are dedicated to improving the life chances of each and every individual student that joins us.   

Our offer includes but is not restricted to:  

  •   A comprehensive curriculum with a wide range of options for students.  
  •   Experienced and committed specialist teachers.  
  •   Robust academic support policies and measures.  
  •   An all-inclusive pastoral and wellbeing support offer.  
  •   Extensive enrichment opportunities to encourage personal development.  
  •   Efficient systems for open and transparent communication.  

In addition, any student who has not achieved a grade 4 or higher in GCSE Mathematics or English will follow a programme of study within the relevant study area.

Our application cycle opens at Sixth Form Open Evening each year, and the deadline for applications is the last Friday in January. Late applications will be considered on an individual basis. No preference is given to students from a particular school- all applications are considered on individual merit.

Our next Open Evening will be held on Monday 3rd December 2024 from 5-7pm. We invite you to explore our offer at AGS Sixth Form and are on-hand to address any questions you may regarding life in the Sixth Form. In the interim, we wish you every success as you make your plans for the future.
