Welcome to the Sixth Form

Opening in September 2010, the new Sixth Form at the Royal Alexandra and Albert School promises to be as successful as the rest of the School. Mr Matthew Pawson joined the School as Head of Sixth Form in April 2010 to oversee the final stages in the development so everything is in place for the 6th September start.

"Words cannot describe how excited I am about the new Sixth Form that will start in September. I am 100% confident that students entering our Sixth Form will be given the opportunity to thrive and excel in preparation for university, employment and life in general. It is my passion that students 'Excel in Everything' - that they develop their existing abilities and talents, but also be given the time and support to tap into talents not yet discovered.

If you have any questions about the new Sixth Form please email matthewpawson@gatton-park.org.uk
