Teachers who know you by name
Smaller classes mean more time with experienced teachers who know their subjects inside out. As one student puts it, staff "are always there to help", whether that's with coursework, deadlines or how you're feeling.
Real support for your next step
University, apprenticeship or straight into a job, you'll get a plan built around your ambitions. Expect expert UCAS guidance, work experience, careers talks every term and visits to universities and workplaces.
Freedom, with time to breathe
Study in the library or independent study area, relax in the common room, head off site at break and lunch, and go home if your afternoon is free. Fun Fridays give you weekly time for sport, games or simply switching off.
Subjects that fit your plans
With 28 courses to choose from, you can follow your passion, whether that means Biology and Chemistry for medicine, Politics and History for law, or Photography, Drama and 3D Design for the creative industries.
Two years that set you up for life
Year 13
Independent study lessons, quiet space to work and a full UCAS programme, with support for your parents and carers too, so applications feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Beyond St Alban's
University, an apprenticeship or straight into work. A third of recent university applicants won Russell Group places, and five students secured Oxford and Cambridge interviews.
We are a friendly and inclusive Sixth Form, and a family to our students and staff. One that cares not just about your grades, but you as a person.
