Our Sixth Form was rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted in 2019

​

We were delighted to receive an outstanding judgement for our Sixth Form in our most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2019. We are also one of the very best performing 16-18 providers in the local area in terms of progress, significantly outperforming the local grammar schools.

“The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is excellent in the Sixth Form.” Ofsted 2019

The Burgate Sixth Form is renowned as a centre of outstanding learning. With extensive facilities, superb resources and excellent results we are able to offer the full range of A Level qualifications to our students, in addition to equivalent Cambridge Technical and BTEC Level 3 qualifications. Our Sixth Form contributes strongly to the aspirational culture that permeates the whole main school: for the majority of our Year 11 students enrolling in the Sixth Form is a natural progression. We also attract a large number of students from other schools across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset, all aspiring to join The Burgate for their sixth form studies. 

“Outcomes in Sixth Form are above the national average.” Ofsted 2019 

Students can expect first class and inspirational teaching in a harmonious and inclusive environment. Whilst we cultivate a strong work ethic to ensure each student fulfils his or her individual potential, we also foster social aspects of college life. We believe that our students’ learning is further enhanced through interactions not only within our immediate school community but with the wider community. Our students are encouraged to contribute towards community projects and fundraising, as well as joining in with the many clubs, societies and social events on offer and undertaking work experience.

“Teachers have high expectations and know the students very well.” Ofsted 2019

We pride ourselves on the level of support available for our students on a personal as well as an academic level. Tutors and student-welfare staff are always on hand should any student have personal issues they need support with. Our professional careers advisor provides guidance as students consider what they may wish to pursue beyond Burgate through one to one higher education and careers interviews. We also offer access to ‘Unifrog’ which is an online resource providing information about degree, apprenticeship and career routes. 

​

We are extremely proud of the level of success our students attain with results of a consistently high standard. Students leave The Burgate Sixth Form with the confidence and independence to go on to achieve great things. Many students continue to their first choice destination in Higher Education, Training or Employment.
