We will support and mentor you throughout your time here at Kingsthorpe College and advise and guide you on a range of both academic and wider issues, including university applications and employment options.
Ultimately we want each of you to

We aim to provide an excellent learning environment for post 16 studies and are confident that we can help you to achieve to the best of your abilities.
The Sixth Form Curriculum
Students select three A levels or BTEC (or a combination of both), to be studied for two years. Students have 6 x one hour lessons per week for each subject. In exceptional cases, students may choose 4 A levels. Students use their spare hours to complete a range of enrichment activities, private study and sports. All students are required to participate in work experience or work shadowing both in and outside of the school day, and support can be offered for students to support them in finding placements.
All students complete a minimum guided learning hours of 1080 hours per year, with many completing significantly more through a mixture of supervised independent study, work experience, and extra curricular activities.
