In November 2023 the Department for Education approved the addition of a new Sixth Form at Watling Academy, which opened to our first cohort of students in September 2025. This exciting development has provided our students with the opportunity to further their education until the end of Year 13. With a focus on academic excellence and personal growth, the new Sixth Form offers a range of subjects and qualifications to suit the needs, and match the interests, of current Watling Academy students.
Our core themes of Milton Keynes, STEM and Sustainability provide the foundations of our Sixth Form curriculum. The curriculum complements the options our students currently take at GCSE, to enable them to continue their studies in their chosen subjects, but also includes some exciting options which will be new to students.
The addition of a Sixth Form at Watling Academy provides a seamless transition for students who wish to continue their education in a familiar and supportive environment. With experienced and dedicated teachers, fantastic facilities, and a focus on student well-being, the new Sixth Form provides a full educational experience.
Overall, the Sixth Form at Watling Academy is an exciting development for the school, students, families and the wider community, providing students with the opportunity to achieve their full potential and prepare them for success in their future endeavours.
