Welcome to KSA Sixth Form
At Kettering Science Academy Sixth Form we believe that the student is at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make.
We firmly believe that our Sixth Form is the stepping stone to higher education and employment and, as such, we encourage in students the skills needed to be successful. To do this, we believe in creating the conditions for achievement, actively promoting collaboration and developing the skills for leadership.
Kettering Science Academy has a proven track record of success with an ever-increasing number of students obtaining places at Britain’s top universities. Achievement for every learner comes through hard work, and we believe in creating the conditions which enable every learner to be successful. We run a Global Learning programme where we explore different careers as well as wider knowledge, including information about taxes and banking, that our young people need to know in order to be successful in their futures.
We offer the traditional pathway of A Level courses together with new vocational and applied single courses in such subjects as health and social care, and sport.
At KSA Sixth Form we offer opportunities to develop leadership skills and these range from head boy and girl positions and the Duke of Edinburgh Award, through to being leaders in learning and organising community and charity events. The skills learnt through an active enrichment programme will equip every learner for the world of work.
By taking on responsibility, the learners of today will become the leaders of tomorrow and at Kettering Science Academy Sixth Form we actively encourage responsible leadership.
