The Sixth Form journey begins at the end of Year 11 when you start studying at the Ripley Academy Sixth Form.  After studying for two years in the Sixth Form, you will be ready and prepared for the next step of the journey, your future.

Typically our students who study at the Ripley Academy Sixth Form, once they have completed their studies move onto;

• University study
• Apprenticeships
• GAP Year
• World of Work

Our facilities include a dedicated Sixth Form study area, with a Common Room and a separate silent supervised study room with p.c's and printer.
