A Sixth Form with a Difference

We are unique in being based in a single building, which allows us to foster a close-knit, ambitious community where every student is seen and valued.

  • Every HASU6 student is an integral part of the wider school.
  • Leadership is at the heart of our Sixth Form identity, with students expected to play an active role in shaping our community.
  • Dedicated Sixth Form areas are managed by our students, helping them develop responsibility and independence.
  • A business-style dress code reflects our high expectations and prepares students for the professional world.

At HASU6, our students leave not only with excellent qualifications but also with the skills, experiences and confidence to thrive in whichever path they choose next.
