At Wanstead High School, our Sixth Form is a place where every day, every lesson and every interaction is an opportunity to grow, challenge yourself and realise your potential without limits.

We believe that every pupil has the capacity to achieve exceptional things. Our role is to nurture that belief, to encourage you to go further than you thought possible, and to support you at every stage of your journey.

Our specialist teachers and pastoral team are fully committed to your success. Together, we deliver a curriculum that is broad, ambitious and taught with depth and rigour. You will be encouraged to look beyond the classroom, read widely, explore your interests, question ideas and develop the independence, curiosity and resilience that define successful learners.

We have a strong record of academic excellence, with the majority of our pupils progressing to their chosen universities or  apprenticeships. More importantly, our pupils leave us with the confidence and skills to shape their own futures.

We set high expectations because we know what you can achieve. You will be challenged to think deeply, engage fully and give your best in all that you do. In return, you will be supported, encouraged and believed in. We invest in your wellbeing, growth and ambitions so that you can thrive both academically and personally.

Through pastoral tutoring and careful monitoring of your progress, we ensure that you continue to move forward. We work in close partnership with parents and carers to help you achieve your goals and fulfil your potential.

Beyond the classroom, our Sixth Form offers a vibrant and inclusive community where you can form lasting friendships, take on enrichment and leadership opportunities, and contribute to the life of the school and wider community. Our Social Contract encourages every pupil to give back, developing compassion, leadership, collaboration and a sense of social responsibility; qualities that will serve you for life.

At Wanstead, we are preparing you not only for examinations but for the wider challenges and opportunities of life. By the end of your Sixth Form journey, you will have the confidence, character and skills to thrive, ready to make a positive impact in whatever path you choose next.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Sixth Form and seeing the person you become when you embrace the belief that your potential knows no limits.
