At The Long Eaton Sixth Form, students thrive in a vibrant, dynamic environment that offers far more than academic study. Our Sixth Form is a hub of opportunity, where students engage in a rich calendar of events and activities that support personal growth, leadership, and future success.
Life Beyond the Classroom
From student-led initiatives such as The 16+ Student Council, The 16+ Student Leadership Award, to enriching experiences such as careers trips, academic visits, mock interviews, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award, our students are constantly challenged and inspired. We celebrate student achievement and support every pathway—whether it’s UCAS applications, apprenticeships, or employment.
Personal Development & Wellbeing
Each week, students take part in three dedicated personal development sessions focused on:
- Academic Excellence
- Careers & Future Pathways
- Student Wellbeing
These sessions are built around the VESPA model—Vision, Effort, Systems, Practice, and Attitude—empowering students to take ownership of their success.
Pastoral Programme
Over two years, students follow a comprehensive pastoral curriculum aligned with PSHE Association guidance. Delivered flexibly to meet the needs of each cohort, the programme covers:
- Health & Wellbeing
- Relationships
- Living in the Wider World
Topics include financial literacy, British values, personal safety, employability, volunteering, and navigating relationships in modern society.
Our Mission
