A welcome from the Headteacher of the Redhill Academy

We are delighted with our results this year with some of our best ever results at A Level. Many students gained all A*/A grades enabling them to progress to some of the most competitive universities and courses globally. 

Our specialisms in Performing Arts and Science are just two of the many areas in which we excel. We oer a broad and balanced range of exciting courses which are designed to challenge and stimulate learning for all students. 

Our newly expanded Post-16 Centre has been designed to enable students to benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, and coupled with the Learning Resource Centre, allows students to harness 21st century technology to support their learning. 

We are proud of our students’ academic and personal successes, and aim to support and encourage all students as they strive to achieve the very best they can as they progress to university, further training or employment. 

Redhill Academy Post-16 study will be exciting and challenging, and we look forward to celebrating success with you. Please take the time to read this prospectus.
We hope what you find will fill you with enthusiasm and we look forward to welcoming you into Redhill Academy Post-16 study.

Headteacher, 
The Redhill Academy

Redhill has opened my eyes to a new depth of the subjects I once loved at GCSE and new subjects that I wouldn't have considered doing last year. At first, I was sceptical of coming to Redhill Sixth Form because of how I would fit in and how life would be here, now I think to myself 'what was I thinking!' because I've found my missing piece to my puzzle by being here at Redhill and found some new friends for life. Studying 3 subjects at A-level sounds quite easy but it can be more challenging than studying 10 at GCSE's but it is so worth it because if you love the subjects then you develop a newfound respect for them and your brilliant teachers. If you take away one thing from me, it's that Redhill has not only given me confidence in myself that I can go to University but I can do whatever I put my mind to.

Making the important decision to apply to the Redhill Trust sixth form has proved to be an excellent choice that has boosted my confidence and has confirmed I am on the right track for my future career prospects. Very early on I felt very comfortable and at ease, meeting similar young-adult students in a new learning and social environment.

The teachers who are involved in delivering the BTEC course have all been very friendly and supportive in ensuring my needs were being addressed and that I was an important member of the wider team. 

I feel challenged yet excited by the elements we have covered so far and am very much looking forward to developing my knowledge and skills which will hopefully allow me to fulfill each stage of my career pathway.

After graduating from Oakwood in 2020, it was difficult to make a Post 16 decision because it wasn’t like any other year.

Being a student at Redhill Sixth Form was definitely the right choice. The staff and students are lovely, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.

Studying Health and Social care has opened my eyes to opportunities I didn’t even know existed and now I feel I am thriving more than ever.
