“One of the best attributes of The Sixth Form @ Woodkirk Academy is the support which is provided for students.

The teaching here is excellent, and no teacher is too busy to stay with you and provide you with extra support.

“I looked to move to Woodkirk for the Sixth Form because of the outstanding A-Level results. When I came to the Open Evening, all of the students and teachers were friendly and very welcoming, I instantly felt comfortable about moving.
