A warm welcome to you all,

TGS Sixth Form is a vibrant community of students and teachers committed to achieving excellence in everything we do.  As a Sixth Form community, we take great pride in all our achievements and I hope that this website will give you just a little taste of what a special place TGS Sixth Form really is.

At TGS we are committed to offering you not only the highest possible quality of teaching, but also the personalised support and guidance that will allow you to reach your goals. Both I and my dedicated team of sixth form leaders and tutors are here to support you through all your studies in a spirit of trust and mutual respect and in an environment where learning is fun.

It is a central characteristic of our community that the high expectations we have of our students are matched by the high expectations our students have of themselves.  If your expectations match ours, I would be delighted to hear from you.  I can guarantee that in return we can offer you a highly enjoyable and memorable two years where your academic ambitions will be met in a stimulating atmosphere of care and support.

Looking forward to meeting you all in the future,

Kind Regards

Mr K Alexander
Director of TGS Sixth Form 

A message from Thomas Gainsborough Headteacher Mrs Yapp

It is time to make the biggest decision of your lives so far!
What lies ahead, beyond Year 11?

You are about to make a choice that will define the pathways and opportunities available to you in adulthood. It is a fantastically exciting time (if not a little nerve-racking) and one that I am sure will take you in the direction of your dreams.

Learning with us at Thomas Gainsborough Sixth Form is about joining a community whose sole purpose is to enable you to fulfil those dreams. We know our students, we care about our students, we place great value on the importance of strong relationships and teamwork in order to  ensure that every one of our students achieves success.

Developing mature young people in the Sixth Form is about personalising learning, support and experiences to meet every single student’s needs. We believe in a close three-way partnership between students, their families and the school. We work together for one goal and that is you achieving the best you possibly can in your learning and developing as a person.

Our Sixth Form is characterised by teachers who know their students well. They are able to provide regular and highly effective feedback in students’ learning. They share information regularly and effectively with parents and students so that parents are involved in the learning journey.

Our students develop self-confidence in their learning: ensuring they become independent, resilient, happy young adults who make a positive
contribution to their community.

The Prospectus is designed to provide you with an insight into what goes on here at Thomas Gainsborough Sixth Form both within the classroom and beyond. Sixth Form is about becoming the person that you want to be. It is about grasping opportunities and making the most of the exciting, enjoyable and fulfilling years of your entire school career.
