Meet Jasper! - a former Student at Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form.

Jasper talks about the extra support he received at Sixth Form particularly how our wonderful receptionist Mrs Hawgood has helped him, teachers who have encouraged him to perform better at school and advice he would give to new Sixth Form Students.

We have a long and proud history at Woolwich Polytechnic, having educated local students for over 100 years: we have been a technical school; reported as the most improved boy’s school in the country; a community school and now an academy; a single school and now the founding ‘brother’ to our sister school, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. We have year-on-year exam results at A Level and BTEC that make us, our students and their families rightly proud. Yet our relentless focus is upon the futures of our current students as we counsel them through their educational careers to be the most successful version of themselves. This is evident in year-on-year increases in students accessing courses at Oxbridge, in medicine and at prestigious Russell Group universities, as well as high-end apprenticeships in finance.

Meet Habib, former student at Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form.

Hear all about his school life and thoughts from transitioning from Year 11 to Sixth Form, who motivates him to learn, who has supported him through his A Level journey and his fondest memories of being at Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form.

Watch now!

Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form is a very special Sixth Form that aims to serve the community, improve opportunity for our community and also reflect our community through our diverse and ambitious curriculum, as well as through our diverse staff and student bodies. We hope that you, too, feel that specialness when you visit us; a specialness that encompasses care and compassion, a genuine delight in young adults’ contributions and a drive towards “success for everyone”.
