Introduction to the sixth form
King Ecgbert School Sixth Form offers a vibrant and aspirational learning environment for students aged 16 to 18. Students benefit from specialist subject teaching, a broad range of courses and clear academic pathways that allow them to tailor their studies to their interests, strengths and future ambitions.
Alongside academic study, students develop independence, resilience and leadership skills that prepare them for adult life. Our Sixth Form is an integral part of the wider school community, offering students opportunities to contribute, lead and make a positive difference.
