Explore your interests
Sixth Form is also an opportunity for students to explore interests and get a taste of life beyond the classroom. Through our comprehensive enrichment programme, we develop our students holistically and enable them to explore their interests, take a leading role within the school and support our younger students as role models. We have a broad curriculum offer in our inclusive Sixth Form and offer A-levels and vocational courses to cater for all passions and aspirations.
HABS have partnered with Kinetic Football Academy, a charity that uses football to educate, inspire, and empower the next generation. Students have the opportunity to join the academy as an extra-curricular activity.
We also develop our aspirational students through a comprehensive work experience programme, to develop their career awareness and experience in industries; we ensure students have the chance to discover their passions and the future pathways open to them.
The staff at the school are dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for all its students; we have the highest aspirations for all our young people and will continue to strive for excellence year on year."
