Sixth Form Courses

Applications can only be made through naming Bradfields Academy in your EHCP; in consultation with Medway LEA.

In Sixth Form, in addition to academic qualifications, students follow programmes of study which focus more on developing their independence and preparing them for their routes beyond Bradfields and into the next steps of their lives.

Students on the academic pathway will have the opportunity to enhance qualifications gained at Key Stage 4 (Oak) as well as being provided with new qualification routes. Students will also study for qualifications such as employability skills, independent living, and, where appropriate, will engage in an extended work experience programme.

When they get to Year 14, students are able to access the exclusive courses in travel training and community volunteering which aim to promote and develop the independence and life skills required to develop our students into confident young adults.

Sixth Form students may apply to become Head Students and Prefects which helps to develop their leadership qualities, confidence and initiative. This in turn helps them to become positive and productive members of their learning community and role models for other students in the academy.

Students in the Sixth Form have a smart dress code to follow rather than a school uniform. This aims to promote a sense of pride and self-respect in their appearance as the senior members of the academy community.

They can also enjoy access to the Sixth Form common room during breaks and lunches where they can play pool, listen to music and chat with their friends in a space just for them.

Our staff work in partnership with the students, their families, and outside agencies, to prepare them for their life after Bradfields.
