Come to our Open Evening on Tuesday 22nd October to hear about our curriculum offer from the headteacher, sixth form team, subject leaders, student alumni and current student ambassadors.

At Longbenton High Sixth Form, you're welcome to engage in a diverse curriculum designed to meet your individual goals and interests. You need at least four GCSE passes at grade 4+ to study at this level.

Most students choose to study three main subjects, but we also provide a variety of options to cater to different learning styles and career aspirations. Our commitment to academic excellence and personalised support ensures that you have the best possible chance of success. From academic-focused programs to vocational pathways and blended combinations, we offer expert guidance to help you select the right courses. 

Our comprehensive curriculum offers a wide range of exciting courses - including Medical Science, Politics, Psychology and Travel and Tourism - to ignite your curiosity and inspire your future. With expert teaching and a dedicated pastoral team, we provide a supportive and challenging environment where you can thrive academically and personally.

We're committed to helping you reach your full potential. Our guidance tutors (we have academic and pastoral tutors) offer personalised advice and support as you explore your post-18 options, ensuring you're well-prepared for the next chapter of your journey. Our unique pastoral structure includes staff who oversee Years 11-13 to create a seamless bridge from GCSE to post-16 study.

Join a community that values individuality, fosters collaboration, and celebrates your achievements. At Longbenton High Sixth Form, you'll find a place where you can grow, learn, and collaborate. 

Advice on choosing the right courses:

  • Check individual course entry requirements carefully, as your GCSE grades will determine the courses you may select.
  • If you are on a Level 3 programme and have not passed GCSE English and/or GCSE Mathematics with at least a grade 4, then you need to re-sit these qualifications. They are vital for entry to university and employment.
  • You will normally study three A Level subjects in Sixth Form.
  • If you have a chosen career, or a degree you wish to take, please check that your A Level choices are appropriate for entry.
  • A Levels can be combined with vocational choices if you have met the entry requirements for these courses.
