Life in the Sixth Form at Cranford offers an exciting bridge between school and university. Sixth Form provides an opportunity to build independence within a college-like atmosphere.

Our Sixth Formers enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with being a student but with the added benefit of access to small classes, along with individual support and tuition at one of the country’s leading small independent schools.

Cranford’s Sixth Form builds on the strong foundations of academic excellence laid at GCSE, offering both a bespoke education tailored to each student and a broad and varied Sixth Form curriculum, all within a new purpose-built Sixth Form Centre. You can download our Sixth Form prospectus here.

Sixth Form students study a common core of three A-levels with the option of a fourth AS or EPQ. Students will benefit from access to a broad range of subjects and a free choice of subject combinations.
