Welcome to ‌the combined 6th Form resources of Bexleyheath, Erith and Welling Schools. Each school, with its own strengths, tradition and specialisms, contributes to a thriving and successful learning community which gives students real opportunity and choice.
Our state of the art facilities, combined with a fantastic range of courses and an excellent programme of pastoral care, will enable you to achieve your academic and personal potential. We aim to develop in each student a mature and responsible attitude to learning and life. We will provide opportunities to accept challenge and responsibility, time for investigating ideas and for developing initiative and independence.
In return, we will offer you support and guidance at every stage of your learning journey towards Higher Education or a career. We look forward to welcoming you to our growing Partnership where your contribution to our success will be encouraged and valued.
We have high standards and expectations of all Sixth Form students. We welcome your application if you are ready to show the commitment and determination required to make the best use of your talents.

What Makes Partnership 6th Unique?
The most significant advantage of working together is the tremendous choice this provides our students. We have an extensive range of courses to suit everyone. From traditional academic options to one-year vocational courses and new Diplomas, we can tailor learning to match your interests, talents and plans for the future. Whilst many students will choose courses delivered exclusively in their ‘home’ school, many are able to take one or more subjects delivered at another Partnership 6th school, especially as some specialist subjects are delivered on one site only. Minibuses will transport you, free of charge, to your lessons and coordination of the school days means you will not miss any teaching time. Our teachers and support staff are dedicated professionals who are committed to your progress and achievement. They work hard to ensure you will enjoy the right experiences, resources and opportunities needed for success.
Ethos Blending tradition with a forward thinking approach, we strive to meet the requirements of young people about to make the transition into adulthood. Our ambition for academic success is combined with a focus on personal development. Our aim is for students to enjoy and value learning and to develop into responsible, caring and well rounded individuals. A caring environment allows us to nurture individuality and a sense of belonging. Community cohesion is important to us and maintaining links with parents and carers is integral to the success of our students. Partnership 6th is an inclusive and non-selective organisation. We believe in access to education and opportunity for all and we celebrate the diversity of our community.
“Partnership 6th students have positive attitudes, are mature, confident and reflective.� Ofsted
“6th Formers respond well to the good support provided and enjoy their learning.� Ofsted
Achieve We have high expectations for everyone in our schools and set challenging academic and personal targets for all students. We will expect you to be ambitious and hardworking and will encourage you to take responsibility for your own learning. Our teachers aim to create programmes of study and lessons that stretch, challenge and support students and our broad, flexible curriculum offer will accommodate a variety of individual learning styles.
Aspire We will encourage ambition and self improvement in all students whilst being aware that everyone has an equal part to play. Our extensive careers programme ensures that Partnership 6th students have the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed in life after school. Every student will be offered individual planned support and advice, and we ensure that everyone has access to up to date information and research materials. We are proud of the links we have with local employers and Higher Education establishments and appreciate the contribution they make to our careers programme and the development of employability skills. Our Progression Accord with London South Bank University allows smooth transition onto a wide range of degree courses. The majority of our students aspire to further their education with many gaining places on degree courses at some of the country’s leading Universities.
“It has been an absolute pleasure establishing links with Partnership 6th… the Progression Accord allows smooth transition on to our courses.” London South Bank University
“6th Formers like coming to school as they are treated like young adults and because they enjoy their lessons.� Ofsted
Contribute Students will be expected to play an active role within their school community. They are regarded as ambassadors and viewed as role models by younger pupils. The roles of Prefects and School Captains are particularly prestigious, challenging and rewarding. Students have the opportunity to undertake voluntary work or to help teachers with younger pupils in school. Sixth Formers also organise a range of social, charity and fundraising events. You will have the opportunity to take part in local and national competitions in a range of subject areas and to participate in whole school sport, creative and performing arts projects. To enhance your experiences, we also offer a range of field and study trips to destinations inside and outside the UK. In recent years, visits have been made to New York, Barcelona, Berlin and Rome.
Support Partnership 6th provides a high standard of academic and pastoral support. “Students receive excellent guidance and support.� Ofsted
All students are assigned to a tutor group in their base school and a comprehensive tutorial programme has been designed to meet the needs of post 16 study. Tutors guide students through their studies ensuring individual needs are met through support and advice. Tutors also play a key role in monitoring academic performance. The 6th Form teams in each school are always available for consultation with both parents and students. Listening to the views of students and parents is of paramount importance. From help with course choices to advice about personal finances, our aim is to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible during your 6th Form studies.
