“Students in the sixth form appreciate the way the school day is designed to enable them to make choices about how to spend their free time." For example, choosing between clubs, supported social time, or quiet time” – OFSTED, January 2025

We are very fortunate that our sixth form is located in the heart of Discovery Park, a fantastic science and business hub. This means you'll have an amazing set of facilities right on your doorstep. Imagine having a huge variety of food outlets for lunch, plus a brilliant games room where you can unwind with friends. It’s packed with fun stuff: a pool table, putting green, a comfy chill-out area, table tennis, and even a retro gaming machine!

What's really special is that we're only minutes away from our lower school site at Ebbsfleet Farmhouse, and just two miles from the charming, historic town of Sandwich. This perfect location gives you the best of both worlds. You'll still feel part of the wider school community, able to pop over for big events like performances and prize-givings. Plus, you’ll have easy access to cool curriculum areas like Forest School, music, and cooking.

We know choosing your Sixth Form is a big decision, and we'd love for you to experience our campus for yourself.
