King Henry’s Sixth Form is fantastic
because of the wealth of opportunities
that it has to offer. Whilst pushing
students to succeed in their studies,
it also provides the flexibility and
freedom to pursue interests and

a good work-life balance and is the
driving force behind students who
are motivated and ready to work hard,
throughout their time here.
