Shireland Collegiate Academy invites students to explore Sixth Form options for September 2027

Prospective sixth form students and their families are being invited to explore Shireland Collegiate Academy and its post-16 provision at its upcoming Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 20 October 2026, from 4.00pm to 7.00pm.  

Visitors will be able to tour the Academy, meet teaching staff and current students, and find out more about the wide range of A level, vocational and Level 2 pathways available for September 2027 entry.  

Shireland Collegiate Academy Sixth Form combines academic study with a strong focus on personal development. Students benefit from expert teaching, dedicated academic coaching and tailored pastoral support, with guidance throughout their studies to help them make the most of their time at sixth form. 

Beyond the classroom, students can take part in work experience, university visits, employer talks and enrichment activities, as well as opportunities to gain additional qualifications. These experiences give students the chance to explore different pathways, develop their interests and gain a better understanding of the options available to them in the future.  

Ben Brogan, Head of Sixth Form at Shireland Collegiate Academy, said: “Choosing where to study after GCSEs is an important decision, and I would encourage students to look beyond the subjects and results and think about the experiences they will have along the way. At Shireland, we want students to be ambitious about what is possible for them and to have access to opportunities that help them turn those ambitions into realistic plans. 

“We are proud of the progress our students make, but what matters just as much is seeing them become more independent, find their voice and start to understand the opportunities available to them. We want students to leave us not only with strong qualifications, but with a clear sense of direction and the confidence to pursue it.” 

Applications for September 2027 entry are now open through Applicaa, the Academy’s online admissions system.
