They can all be very proud of themselves.”

We are very much looking forward to working with this cohort of students as they move up into our sixth form.  Any student who is still unsure where to pursue their studies next year, is invited to contact the school sixth form office (sixthform@lytchett.org.uk) to discuss possible Level 3 options. Andrew Mead said, “Our sixth form is increasingly being seen as the ideal place to come and study post-16. We have amazing facilities and superb teachers.”
