Welcome to The Norwood School Sixth Form

It is my great pleasure to warmly welcome you to The Norwood School Sixth Form—an inclusive, ambitious and creative community with a proud specialism in the Visual and Performing Arts. As such, we are committed to nurturing every student’s potential, celebrating individuality and inspiring excellence in all its forms.

We take immense pride in designing a curriculum that offers genuine choice and opportunity. Our pathways span STEM, English, Humanities, Visual and Performing Arts, Business, IT and Sport, allowing students to specialise or combine subjects that complement their interests and ambitions. Every route is crafted with care to ensure meaningful progression, whether towards university, apprenticeships, creative industries or the world of work.

The quality of teaching and learning at Norwood is outstanding, and this is reflected in our excellent outcomes. 80% of students achieved A–C at A Level*, with 20% securing the very highest A–A grades*, and 99% passed all Level 3 qualifications last year. Our commitment to personalised support and strong pastoral care means students don’t just succeed—they thrive. 

As a Specialist Performing and Visual Arts School, we are passionate about cultivating a lifelong love of the arts. We are proud to be nurturing the next generation of artists, dancers, actors, designers, musicians and journalists. Our arts subjects remain among our most successful, driven by a practical, creative and inspiring approach to teaching and learning.

Choosing The Norwood School Sixth Form means growing in a community that knows you—staff who understand your potential, challenge you to excel and value your success. You will be learning in familiar surroundings, supported by imaginative and dedicated teachers who believe in your future.

I am immensely proud of Norwood Sixth Form: a place that values every student, encourages ambition and truly seeks to “Create Success” together.
