Welcome to a new Sixth Form college experience

Tranby Sixth balances academic excellence with real-world preparation

In an environment where every student is known, supported, and inspired. 

From September 2025, we are introducing a new Sixth Form fee of just £500 per month (£2,000 per term) inclusive of VAT. This is a new model of sixth form, opening up our outstanding  academic provision to more families than ever before and providing more local young adults with a launch pad to their desired university or career path.

17 inspiring A Level and BTEC options  

Our Sixth Form is firmly focused on one thing – inspiring learning, that will give you the best possible preparation for your future.

These two years are an opportunity to specialise and play to your strengths, as you prepare for university and a future career. 

 

Subject options for 2026 are likely to be extended - please contact us now for an early discussion if you’re interested in joining Tranby Sixth in September 2026.

Focused learning, for outstanding results  

With class sizes in 2025/26 expected to average around eight or ten students, our Sixth Form learning is optimised to ensure every individual is seen, heard, and supported.

Unlike larger colleges, our learning environment allows for lively debate, meaningful discussion, and strong relationships between students and teachers where no one has to shout to be heard. Classes are big enough for debate, challenge, and sharing ideas, but focused enough that no one gets lost in the crowd. These two years are absolutely critical: we’ll help you get them right.  

Independent data shows that Tranby consistently ranks at the top for academic progress across the region. Our students perform better than expected in nearly every subject, proving the power of our approach in adding value where you need it most – your results. 

Our average Sixth Form grade places us in the top 22% nationally (covering both A Level and vocational subjects) and our average A Level academic grade places us in the top 24% nationally.

Careers and destinations  

Every Tranby student receives in-depth, expert support with university applications, career planning, personal statements, and interview preparation.  

Destinations include top universities, sought-after apprentice programmes, meaningful gap years or employment. Our UCAS success rate is outstanding: last year, 96% of our Sixth Formers secured a place at their first-choice university. The remaining 4% secured their second place.

Freedom with purpose: helping you grow your independence 

Tranby Sixth students are trusted to leave the school site during non-timetabled periods, using this time responsibly and independently.

This sixth form college experience recognises that you are ready to start learning differently.   

We are proudly known locally as a school that offers a warm and nurturing environment. This extends throughout Sixth Form with weekly pastoral touchpoints designed to meet the needs and interests of Sixth Form students, as you develop and grow into a confident, independent young adult.

A culture of respect, kindness and belonging 

Our community is built on integrity, bravery and compassion – values that shine through in every lesson, every conversation, and every achievement. 

Tranby students are down to earth, humble and open. They come from varying backgrounds and have an eclectic mix of hopes and ambitions. Some have dreams of improving the world through medical excellence, others want to bring joy through performance. But what they each have in common is a belief that their future matters, and a drive to make it count. 

At Tranby, we nurture that belief, helping every student to grow in confidence, take bold steps forward, and leave us not only ready for university, but ready for life

Application process

The first step is a conversation with our admissions team, so we can learn more about your child. We'll arrange for you to visit Tranby, and, when you’re ready to go ahead, ask you to complete an application form.  

The Tranby Sixth entrance assessment takes the form of a short interview, and we will ask your child’s current school to send us a reference including projected GCSE grades. The assessment helps us to understand more about your child, and ensure their chosen subjects are setting them up for success. We offer places to children who will thrive at Tranby, and where we are confident we can meet their needs and propel them academically, socially and professionally. 

Their future starts here

Places are limited. If your child is ready to rise to the challenge, and you're ready to give them the edge, get in touch today.
