Academic excellence, princpled character, purposeful ambition
At Carterton Community College Sixth Form, every student is known and valued as an individual. We are proud to offer a supportive, ambitious and increasingly successful Sixth Form where you will be challenged academically, encouraged to aim high and supported to achieve your personal goals.
From the moment you join us, we work with you to build an individual programme of study around your strengths, interests and future aspirations. Throughout your time at CCC6th, our teachers, tutors and Sixth Form team will help you monitor your progress, overcome challenges and prepare for your chosen next step — whether that is university, an apprenticeship, the military, further training or employment.
Academic success is at the heart of what we do, and our outcomes continue to improve. Most recently, we saw a 52% increase in the proportion of students achieving two or more A Levels and a 34% increase in those achieving three or more A Levels. High attainment also strengthened, with the proportion of A/A* grades increasing by 10.5% and A*–C grades by 13% compared with the previous year.
But Sixth Form should be about more than examination results. We want our students to become confident, independent and future-focused young adults. Through leadership, enrichment, careers education and the wider Sixth Form experience, you will have opportunities to broaden your horizons, develop new skills and make a positive contribution to our school and wider community.
We are a growing Sixth Form with improving outcomes and high aspirations for the future. By choosing CCC6th, you will join a close-knit community where your ambitions matter, your progress is noticed and you will be supported to make the most of the opportunities ahead.

Each of our courses has its own entry requirements, which indicate the GCSE grades normally needed to make a successful start in that subject. Students joining a Level 3 programme would normally be expected to have achieved Grade 4 or above in GCSE English and Mathematics, alongside the entry requirements for their chosen subjects.
However, we consider every application individually. We recognise that GCSE results do not always tell the whole story, and we do not want students with the potential to succeed at Level 3 to miss an opportunity simply because they have not yet achieved the required standard in English or Mathematics.
Where appropriate, we may offer a programme that combines Level 3 study with continued GCSE English and/or Mathematics, alongside additional academic support. Course choices will be agreed carefully with each student to ensure that their programme is ambitious, manageable and provides a clear route towards their future goals.
If you are unsure whether you meet our entry requirements, we encourage you to apply and talk to us.
It is important to choose the subjects you enjoy and that can make a contribution to your future career or university course. There are further details of all our courses in the subject inserts below.
Please ask our teachers for more detail on courses and opportunities.
