Our Sixth Form builds on the high standards of teaching, learning and personal development that Quintin Kynaston students become used to throughout Years 7 to 11. In September Ofsted observed, ‘leadership is strong and that has galvanised students and staff in raising standards and progress’ as part of an overall ‘good’ judgement. We are very much a school Sixth Form, understanding that our students require freedom and a sense of responsibility whilst giving them the strong relationships, care and structure QK provides so well. Our aim is to ‘develop the best in every student’, ensuring they achieve academic success, and receive the best possible learning experience alongside increased opportunities to develop as an individual.
