We are looking forward to welcoming young people and their families who are seeking a place in Year 12 at Ark St Alban’s Academy in September 2026.
Our Sixth Form has recently celebrated both our best ever exam results in Year 13, and our best ever Year 13 destinations, with 75% of the cohort gaining places at top-third universities, including the University of Oxford, the University of Warwick and the University of Birmingham. Our Sixth Form is 100% focussed on supporting young people to secure places at the most competitive universities and on the most competitive courses.
In Year 13 this summer, 86% of pupils secured a minimum of three 3Cs or higher and almost two-thirds of the cohort achieved a minimum of 3Bs. Again, this means that our school performed well above the local and national averages in both measures and it prepares our young people for success at university and beyond. Our Sixth Form offers both A-Levels and Level 3 BTEC qualifications and both pathways lead the way in comparison to national league tables for academic performance and access to elite universities.
As part of the Ark network of schools, our Sixth Form benefits from the partnerships built by Ark Schools. In recent years, young people from our Sixth Form have benefitted from bursaries to support their university studies which in total have valued over £100,000. We also work closely with a number of universities on contextual offers, enhanced entrance programmes and mentoring and tutoring opportunities.
