Newquay Tretherras Sixth Form
Newquay Tretherras Sixth Form (NT6) offers a dynamic and welcoming academic environment where students benefit from outstanding educational opportunities and a strong focus on excellence.
We provide exceptional teaching, with a proven track record of students achieving the highest grades. Our wide range of academic, vocational, sporting, and social opportunities enables you to gain the qualifications needed to progress to higher education, apprenticeships, or employment, while also developing the personal attributes required to thrive in a fast-changing world.
Supporting students
To ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed, we offer a variety of tailored course pathways that accommodate different abilities and aspirations. For students entering sixth form without a strong pass in GCSE English or Mathematics, we provide dedicated curriculum time and access to specialist staff to support their progress in these essential subjects.
Recognising that success requires more than just academic instruction, we have also established a committed team of academic mentors who work closely with our students, offering the guidance and support they need to thrive.
Wider opportunities.
Our students actively participate in a diverse range of enrichment opportunities that challenge them to grow personally and develop the confidence and communication skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. NT6 students hold prestigious and influential roles both within Tretherras and across the wider Trust. They serve as mentors and role models, leading by example through their involvement in the Student Leadership Team, as Literacy and Numeracy Mentors, Outdoor Learning volunteers, and by supporting teaching and learning in our feeder primary schools. Alongside volunteering opportunities students can also opt to take part in their Gold Duke of Edinburgh award, winters skills and competitive football and netball.
External Students
We warmly welcome Sixth Form applications from students who did not complete their GCSEs at NT6 but who share our values and educational ethos. Each year, new students join our community and quickly feel at home. The supportive and friendly atmosphere of our Sixth Form, combined with genuine, personalised attention from our dedicated staff, ensures a smooth and positive transition. This nurturing environment opens up a world of opportunities for academic growth, personal development, and enrichment.
