Welcome to the Sixth Form

The Sixth Form at the Royal Alexandra and Albert School opened in September 2010. Mr Matthew Pawson joined the School as Head of Sixth Form in April 2010 and in his first year at the School has ensured the Sixth Form has got off to a flying start.

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.
