Sixth Form Results
In the Sixth Form our students are given a broad choice of subjects to choose from, including subjects across a range of A Level and vocational subjects. We are proud of the diverse range of subjects our students can access and regularly see students combining courses such as A level maths and biology with photography or BTEC Health and Social Care with psychology and sociology. This gives our students the ability to opt for a curriculum that suits their skills and interests best, and supports their progression to university degree courses, apprenticeships and employment. Excellent support results in our retention rate on courses being much higher than national rates overall.
The Joseph Rowntree Sixth Form has high expectations for all of our students and a typical Year 13 cohort will see around 75% of students leaving for university, with around 40-50% of these students attending Russell Group institutions including Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Kings College London, Leeds, Manchester, Durham and Sheffield. Students are also well supported into a range of apprenticeships. As a Sixth Form, our results are consistently strong. In 2022/23 and 2023/24 we were in the top 10 State Schools in Yorkshire for our A Level Results.
