Welcome from the Head of Sixth Form, Mrs Ronnie Ebanks
We at The Oak Sixth Form, are incredibly proud of what we are able to offer students – not just in the range of courses that we offer and the high level of teaching, but also the commitment that we have to your personal development as a student. From when we first meet at interview to results day at the end of Year 13, everything we do is aimed at giving you the best possible start as you venture out into adult life. We purposefully look to support you and help you improve your performance in your subject areas, as well as develop the important soft skills that are needed for success in all careers. We are an inclusive school where staff seek to build relationships with students to create an atmosphere where all can thrive.
Our Careers Lead, Ceri Tranter, provides expert and impartial support in transiting students to the post-18 passions. We offer trips and talks to support our sixth formers in finding the pathway into adult life that they will be most stultified with.
If you are looking for a Sixth Form that will help you to do your best and be the very best you that you can be, as well as be for you in every aspect of your day, then The Oak Sixth Form is the place for you.

In Consortium…
One of the ways that we are able to offer a wide range of subjects, is by running our Sixth Form in Consortium with The Devizes School (also part of the White Horse Federation Trust). Students have a home-school base, but if they wish to study a particular subject that is offered at the other school, then transport is provided free of charge between the schools at the start and end of each lesson.
