About Braintree Sixth Form

What will you find at BSF?

Since opening in 2009 Braintree Sixth Form has become established as a leading provider of academic courses.  We are unique in the local area as we work in partnership with local secondary schools to recruit the very best teaching staff to contribute to the delivery of our varied and challenging curriculum.

Excellent academic achievement

In 2018 we had a pass rate of 94% with 39% of the grades obtained being B grade or above.

Excellent progression

The majority of our students progress to Higher and Further education courses, both locally and further afield. Each year, students secure places on selective Russell Group university courses, including Oxford and Cambridge.

Friendly and supportive staff

In choosing Braintree Sixth Form, you will be joining a supportive academic community. Our excellent pastoral support begins immediately, as you are offered a supportive application process and individual guidance on your selection of courses. We know our students well and so are able to support them in their studies. We expect you to want to achieve highly and will support you in your endeavours.

An Internationally minded and aspirational community

Although many students at Braintree Sixth Form come from local secondary schools, the student body includes students from over 30 different schools, including overseas. This diversity contributes to the vibrant and welcoming atmosphere and ensures that everyone has the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy social activities alongside academic study.

Outstanding facilities

Our purpose built £6 million sixth form centre includes a café, common room, 2 ICT suites, library and specialist teaching facilities, creating a professional and aspirational environment for the exclusive use of our Sixth Form students.

Our motto is ‘working together, achieving together.’

We believe that by working together we can produce confident, independent and internationally minded young adults who will be able to flourish at university, in employment and in their future lives.
