Following the opening of the Academy, the number and range of Post 16 courses that are offered has been enhanced year on year as has the number of teachers available within the school.The Academy offers a traditional route of 3 A Level subjects, a more vocational route of combining A Levels and BTEC courses or fully vocational through the  Beauty Therapy NVQ. The Academy has listened to the needs and requirements of the local area.  As a result and because of the high demand from families keen to send their children to this Academy, we are about to start yet another extensive building programme here at the Academy The Sixth Form is situated in a modern building away from the main school with it's own Common room and ICT study rooms.   We also have a purpose built training training salon which house the Beauty Therapy department.  The Sixth Form is  increasing in size year on year and will welcome the use of greater and improved facilities that will inevitably arise from the new build.  The Academy continues to develop it's ICT facilities  with the Sixth Form facilities being of utmost importance. We want our students to achieve great things and to do so we must provide them with the teaching and facilities to match our expectations.  All students can complete the Extended Project Qualification,  which is a piece of research and written coursework worth the same as half an A Level, that prepares students for the rigours of research at University.We sincerely hope that you choose to join us at Lord Nelson Sixth Form and we can promise that we will endeavour to provide you with the very best education with the very best facilities.
