A message from Mr Neves
Whether this is a continuation of your time at JFK or you are joining the school for the first time, this represents an exciting new chapter in your secondary school education. Our aim during years 12 and 13 is to give you the very best preparation for what lies beyond in the next stage of your adult career. This includes helping you to achieve the best qualifications possible, but involves so much more.
There are lots of opportunities to involve yourself in the wider life of the school. In particular, the Sixth Form offers you the chance to develop your leadership skills in a variety of different ways. This fits naturally with the position you are in as a role model for the younger students at JFK. They will be looking up to you and will learn from you by the way you conduct yourselves and the way you live out the ethos of our school.
If you take advantage of everything the JFK Sixth Form has to offer, this will be the busiest, most challenging and exhausting time of your school career; but it will also be the most rewarding time.
Mr Neves
Our school Mission Statement is summarised by three words
Inspire – Achieve – Serve
We inspire our students through engaging teaching combined with a comprehensive programme of enrichment. We believe that creating interest leads to an appetite for learning for life.
We deliver high quality academic teaching in outstanding facilities and achieve excellent results and create a desire for continued learning. We are very proud of our Sixth Form and the outstanding achievements of our students.
To serve through volunteering and leadership are integral to the Sixth Form students daily life. They are the role models for the rest of the school and ambassadors for the school in the wider community.
With over 170 students in our Sixth Form, we are proud to be a good school and aim to be a centre of excellence. Ofsted commented that “Teaching in the sixth form is good and promotes good progress”. They continued with “The range of largely academic subjects offered meets the needs of the students and is enhanced by a wide range of additional activities”. Applications are welcomed from all students including those who are beyond our normal Year 7 entry catchment.
