Our Sixth Form delivers strong academic results. We consistently place among the top performing Sixth Forms nationally.

Life at Cardinal Pole Sixth Form is about so much more than grades. We champion a rich and diverse extracurricular programme that empowers students to explore new interests, build leadership skills, and forge lifelong friendships. Our Sixth Formers are encouraged to develop their passions, contribute to school life, and make a positive impact locally and beyond — shaping the kind of well-rounded, resilient young adults that universities and employers value most.
