A New Era For Tranby Sixth Form

Tranby Sixth is proud to offer a Sixth Form education experience that 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 revised Sixth Form fee structure of just £500 per month (£2,000 per term) inclusive of VAT, opening up our outstanding provision to more families than ever before and providing more local young adults with a launch pad to their desired university or career path. With this incredible offer available, the question is no longer, 'can I afford independent education?' The question is, 'can I afford not to take this invaluable opportunity for my child?'

Places are limited and entry will be based on an interview and references from your child's current school. We strongly advise early applicaton to avoid disappointment.

Choosing the Right Sixth Form or College

Your child only gets one shot at these final two years. Make them count.
At Tranby, we believe that where your child spends Sixth Form has the power to shape what comes next. The difference can be life changing.
When considering a Sixth Form provision, it's important you look beyond the buzzwords and headlines and get to the facts before making your final decision.

What Makes Tranby Sixth Form Different?

Choosing where to study after GCSEs is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At Tranby, we believe transparency, personalised support, and genuine opportunity set us apart. Here’s what you can expect at Tranby - and what you should get at any Sixth Form worth considering.

Tailored University and Career Guidance
Every Tranby student receives in depth, expert support with university applications, career planning, personal statements, and interview preparation. Our UCAS success rate is outstanding, and we take the time to understand each student’s individual ambitions.

Nurturing Young Professionals
Students leave Tranby with a professional LinkedIn profile, polished CV and cover letter, meaningful work experience, and exposure to leadership and volunteering opportunities. They also gain practical experience in key professional skills, including academic writing, referencing, and public speaking.

First-Choice University Success
Last year, 96% of our Sixth Formers secured a place at their first-choice university. The remaining 4% secured their second place. We don't just list destinations - we measure success by how well students achieve their personal goals.

Classes Where Everyone Counts
Our Sixth Form classes are deliberately kept at a size that ensures every student 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. Big enough to challenge ideas, small enough that no one gets lost in the crowd.

Ongoing Progress Tracking and Support
We closely monitor academic progress and intervene early if a student begins to struggle. Vitally, parents and carers are kept in the loop with fortnightly progress reports. Our approach is proactive, not reactive, and no one is left to fall behind. We never remove students from courses they want to stay on, we work with them to ensure they grasp the concepts and become subject specialists in their own right.

Business Casual Dress Code
At Tranby Sixth, students dress for success.
What they wear reflects their ambition, maturity, and professionalism - helping to build the mindset and confidence they’ll carry into life beyond school.
Our students stand out for all the right reasons.

Freedom with Purpose
Tranby Sixth students are trusted to leave the school site during non-timetabled periods, using this time responsibly and independently.
We closely monitor academic progress and, if a student begins to fall behind, these privileges may be temporarily paused. In such cases, study periods will take place in school to help them get back on track and reach their full potential.

Tranby Pastoral Support
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 specifically to meet the needs and interests of Sixth Form students.

So, Why Choose Tranby Sixth and Why NOW?

For many families, this might be the first time you're considering independent education. So why now?
Because the two years before university are absolutely critical. This is when strong teacher-student relationships - made possible by more manageable group sizes than other local colleges - expert guidance, and focused teaching can unlock real opportunities for your child.
We are here to do just that.

OUTSTANDING University Success

Last year, 100% of Tranby Sixth Formers received offers from their chosen universities.
96% were offered their first choice and the remaining 4% secured their insurance choice.
We provide the kind of support, consistent feedback and exam preparation that large colleges and Sixth Forms simply cannot offer. Our mock university interviews and in-depth UCAS form support ensures your child puts their best foot forward during the application process.
Our proven record of success means your child is in safe hands.

Exceptional Value Added

At Tranby, we don’t just teach, we transform outcomes. 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 personalised approach.

Our A-Level average grade places us in the top 22% nationally (covering both academic [A-Level] and vocational subjects) and our A-Level academic grade (straight A-Levels) places us in the top 24% nationally.

In 2024, our students achieved 100% A - A* in Sport, and 100% A* - B in Sociology, Further Maths and Chemistry.

A Culture of Respect, Kindness and Belonging

At Tranby, your child is never just a number. We create an environment where they’re respected, encouraged, and truly seen by both the staff and fellow students.

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.

Why Are We Offering This?

As a school with charitable status and deep roots in the local community, we believe that a transformative Sixth Form education should be within reach for more families - especially during such transformative years of a young person's academic journey.

This initiative reflects our commitment to making an outstanding education more accessible, without compromising on quality, care, or outcomes. By focusing on a streamlined course offering aligned with existing resources, we can welcome more students into our thriving Sixth Form while maintaining our ambitious standards.
