They can be really proud of what they have achieved and can now move on with confidence to the next phase of their educational journey.”

We are very much looking forward to continuing to work with this fabulous cohort of students, the majority of whom are planning to join 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. With our amazing facilities, superb teachers and excellent pastoral care, our sixth form is increasingly being seen as the ideal place to come and study post-16.”
