The Norwood School

Why Choose Norwood Sixth Form?

Student Enrichment Programme

As part of our Student Enrichment Programme you will be able to take part in a variety of activities and learn new skills. There are places to visit, events to take part in and sporting teams to represent. We have established links with a number of exciting clubs and arts organisations for example First Give, Access Aspirations, Access Project, Arts Emergency and the Oppidan Mentoring Scheme.

Sixth Form Study Hub

The Study Hub will continue to provide you with a wide range of information and computing services to help maximise your learning. The Study Hub provides access to a silent working environment. The atrium will be a place of your own to meet, have tutorials, study or just relax. It will have full access to your own ICT facilities, workstations, 6th Form notice board, careers, library and lockers in the Sixth form space.

The Norwood Art Gallery and Theatre

The Norwood Art Gallery hosts exhibitions of contemporary art, design and crafts. You will have the chance to exhibit your work at the Gallery along with staff and international artists. Many of the exhibitions will open to the public. The Theatre will play host to many Sixth Form events, showcases and productions.

Educational Trips

We recognise how valuable trips and residential are as part of your learning programme. Some are very specific to the course you are studying whilst others support the general curriculum or are recreational. We believe that if you take part in and enjoy life as a 6th former you will be more successful. Why not join a cultural trip to Berlin or a fashion trip to Milan or Paris or a Spanish trip to Barcelona or Bilbao?
