Joseph Leckie Academy is now established as one of the best 6^th form centres in the Black Country with strong educational results at 'A' Level and vocational subjects and an amazing programme of enrichment and support for every student. 

Leaders are passionate, ambitious and have high expectations for students in the sixth form. They have developed a bespoke study programme to meet the academic needs and career aspirations of individuals. The school supports students to progress well from their starting points. Most students achieve well. There is some variation between subjects and between academic and vocational courses.

Students are prepared well for their next stages in education, employment or training. They receive a weekly personal, social, health and economic education lesson. This includes sessions on relationships, sexual health, finance and preparing for adult life. Leaders have extensive external links with universities, industry and wider organisations. They use these to provide meaningful opportunities for students.

Staff ensure that students with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive support to develop their independent living skills. Leaders have worked hard to overcome barriers for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Sixth-form students have many opportunities to participate in wider school life. They act as reading mentors and take up leadership roles. As a result, the sixth form is an extension of the main school and not an addition.

We believe in high academic standards, rich personal development and preparing our students to live successful and fulfilling lives. These ambitious aims are reflected in the high quality of our teaching, the careful planning of our curriculum and in the advice, guidance and personal development support offered to all of our students. This includes our highly respected careers programme with links to employers and high education institutions across the local area and nationally. All our students have access to high quality study facilities, including our new, state of the art study centre with a full-time support assistant on hand to provide guidance and assistance when needed.

Our 6^th form students are very much a part of the wider Academy community here at Joseph Leckie and you will have access to a wide range of volunteering and leadership opportunities as well as a full programme of enrichment opportunities. We are proud of what our 6^th form students achieve and take every opportunity to celebrate their success as role models for younger students in the Academy.

Our promise to you is a learning experience that will give you every opportunity to succeed.  We hope you will come to us excited, curious and prepared to meet the challenges and take full advantage of everything that is on offer in our innovative and vibrant 6^th Form. If you do, we know that you will leave us highly qualified, on a pathway to further success and ready to face the future with confidence.
