In the Sixth Form at Sidcot, we treat all our students as individuals and tailor programmes to suit their specific needs. Pupils choose to study either A Levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma and a wide choice of subjects are offered.

The Sixth Form Centre is on the first floor of the new learning resource centre and comprises a large, modern working area with adjoining careers area, conference facilities and the office of the Head of Sixth Form. Workspaces have fully networked IT facilities.
