Hannah Sheppard, assistant head - Sixth Form, said: “At Churchill Academy, our Sixth Form encourages students to pursue their passions and helps them shape their future pathways.

“We believe it’s important to offer students a broad range of courses to ensure that their individual interests and ambitions are catered for, as well as to provide an opportunity for students to explore new interests.

“Congratulations to all of the Year 11 students on completing their GCSEs and we look forward to welcoming many of them back to the academy in September.”

The academy will be holding its Open Evening on Wednesday 25th September for future Year 7 students to visit the facilities.
