Sixth Form Open Evening – 24 October 2024

Apply here

 

Our Sixth Form Open Evening for 2025 entry will take place on Thursday 24 October 2024 between 5pm and 8pm.

Prospective students are invited to attend our Sixth Form Open Evening for September 2025 admissions. The evening will consist of talks from the Headteacher, the Head of Sixth Form, and provide an opportunity to visit departments to find out more about about out A level courses and see our fantastic facilities.

At Heckmondwike, academic achievement is at the forefront, and our results speak for themselves. Year after year, our students achieve fantastic A-Level results that exceed the national averages. This year, an amazing 85% of students scored A-Level grades of C or higher, and 80% of those grades were A*, A, or B. Eleven of our students picked up three A* grades, and five of our students bagged an incredible four A* grades!

But what’s even more impressive than the statistics is the environment that helps make this possible. The teachers here are committed to helping students reach their full potential, and our ethos of ‘work hard, play hard’ runs through everything we do. Whether you’re aiming for top grades or just trying to be the best version of yourself, you’ll find all the support you need.

One of the things that really sets Heckmondwike Grammar School Sixth Form apart is the sheer number of students who go on to study at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. The school has a track record of sending more than double the percentage of students to Oxbridge than the national average. This shows how well-prepared students are when they leave. However, we don’t just focus on academic excellence. We help students develop the confidence needed to pursue their dreams, and we strive to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to make those dreams a reality.

The Jo Cox Sixth Form Centre: A Space to Learn and Grow

When you walk into the Jo Cox Building, you immediately get a sense of what makes Heckmondwike so special. This modern, purpose-built facility is at the heart of Sixth Form life. Whether you’re looking for a quiet study space or a place to hang out with friends, it’s all there. The design of the building encourages both focused learning and community, so you feel part of something bigger while having the space to work on your individual goals.

One of the best things about Heckmondwike’s Sixth Form is the flexibility it offers. Most students opt to take three A-Levels, with a number studying four, and the school provides a wide variety of subjects, so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re passionate about the sciences, humanities, or arts, you can tailor your studies to suit your future plans.
