6TH FORM OPEN EVENING

CALLING ALL YEAR 11 STUDENTS Our 6th Form Open Evening takes place on Wednesday 23rd October 5pm -7pm for students who are due to start post-16 studies in September 2025. There is no need to book, visitors can just turn up.

Whether you are thinking of eventually moving onto university, a higher-level apprenticeship or another form of employment, you can be sure to find courses that suit and challenge you at our sixth form. With over 25 A level and vocational courses to choose from, as well as a full enrichment programme consisting of additional qualifications and extra-curricular activities, we provide a varied curriculum that aims to develop students as individuals and not just academically. We can’t wait to meet you!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Unfortunately I can’t make either of the Open Events, how can I find out more about your school?
We’ll more than happily arrange a telephone call with you or accommodate an out-of-hours Academy visit to show you around. Please use the contacts form to arrange this.

What will I see at the Open Events?
We’ll ensure that you get the perfect opportunity to experience the Forge family, first hand by meeting the Principal, enjoying a tour of the academy, perusing exceptional student work, speaking to our expert staff and, most importantly, meeting our students.
