Welcome Sidney Stringer Academy caters for 1450 students aged 11-19 including a large sixth form. The Academy opened in September 2010 and moved into our new building in 2011. The school was originally a sponsored academy but in 2014 following an Ofsted inspection which judged the academy to be outstanding we became a sponsor in our own right. Sidney Stringer is now the lead school in the Sidney Stringer Multi Academy Trust and there are currently 5 schools in the trust: Ernesford Grange Community Academy, Radford Primary Academy, Riverbank Academy (Special School) and Sidney Stringer Primary Academy. All of the schools are working together with the aim of providing an outstanding education for all of our pupils. Our ambition at Sidney Stringer Academy is to create a vibrant, happy and successful academy which delivers the very highest standards of education and nurtures each student’s talents and skills and plays a central role in meeting the needs of our local community.

King Edward VI College Nuneaton

Warwickshire

Rated Ofsted Good across all areas, King Edward VI College is the only Sixth Form college in Coventry and Warwickshire specialising in the teaching and support of 16 to 19-year olds. We take students from Coventry, Warwickshire, West Midlands, Leicestershire and neighbouring counties, and provide the grown up learning environment that’s perfect preparation for university or the workplace. The college has over 1,100 students, approximately 75% will go on to university. King Edward VI College has an excellent reputation for very high standards of teaching and learning, a long-established track record of success and a tremendous range of programmes available. We now offer over 60 subjects at A Level and BTEC all available at one institution – that’s the widest range of A Level and BTEC courses in Coventry and Warwickshire. Approximately 40% of our students gain high grades. A student at King Edward’s has a bespoke programme of study which includes 3 academic subjects, a LinC activity and a weekly meeting with their Progress Coach. The main difference to school Sixth Forms is that our students are free to use their non timetabled sessions as they wish. There is ample space for supported independent study in one of our study areas. The college does not have a uniform or dress code which leads to a more relaxed environment, free from some of the necessary, but sometimes time consuming regulations at schools. We think Sixth Form college is a new and exciting environment in which to make the natural transition to the world and beyond and opens up new and exciting opportunities. Join us at King Edward VI College and you too can be part of this success.
