Steyning Grammar School’s Sixth Form boasts a welcoming and high-achieving college offer, with a broad range of A-Levels and applied courses that are designed to equip students for university,
apprenticeships or the world of work.

Alongside high academic attainment, there is a focus on excellent pastoral support and guidance, as well as an array of enrichment opportunities to help students become the best they can be.

Many of the sixth form students also take up the opportunity of boarding at the Sussex School, which provides further opportunities to nurture students and develop them as well-rounded individuals both inside and outside the classroom, fully prepared to transition to life at university or in work. 
Claire Monahan, Head of Sixth form, said: “We are thrilled with the brilliant results and outcomes that our students here at Steyning Grammar School Sixth Form have achieved.
