We treat you as an individual...

Is independence important to you?  At 16 years old, you have a choice of where you want to study.  We recognise that you are a young adult and your experience is unique to you. Our academic pathways, pastoral support system and varied enrichment programme enable a personalised experience of 16-18 study from the outset.

We get results...

Our students have an excellent record of success, which they work hard to achieve.  Our students’ progress at A Level is among the best in Northampton, allowing most students to go on to their first choice of post-18 destination.

We’re a vibrant community...

The Sixth Form at NSG is made up of students from a diverse range of backgrounds and we empower our students to own their voice in the world.  Students are keen to be involved in projects to raise awareness about key local and national issues.  Our work as a school on our Charter for Action demonstrates our overt commitment to challenging injustice and inequality in all its forms.

We’ll support you whatever your needs...

All of our students are assigned a tutor in Year 12 and a Head of Year.  There is also a team of support staff who can help with an array of issues; they are there to help you. We don’t want anything to come between you and your ambitions.  Our on-site counsellor and link with the Lowdown counselling service mean that professional support is on hand should things get tough.  If you’re having trouble managing your time, need guidance on writing an essay or with your revision, or you’re dealing with dyslexia or any other learning difficulty, you’ll also get the right support.  Financial support is also available through the 16 to 19 bursary scheme.

We’ll offer you tailored Careers Information, Advice and Guidance...

At The Sixth Form at NSG, we see ourselves as a stepping stone between school and university, employment or further training. Our bespoke support for applications to prestigious post-18 providers, including the Russell Group, Oxbridge and for specialist degrees in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and the performing and creative arts means all students have the best chance possible of achieving their ambitions beyond sixth form.

We’ll offer you a rich, fulfilling student life...

Our enrichment programme provides opportunities to try new things, take existing skills and interests further and meet new people; all great preparation for university or life after sixth form.  You can take part in visits in the UK and overseas, or in activities related to your studies. You can also join our growing number of societies and lead on issues pertinent to your interests.
