Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form - Tomorrow’s Leaders Start Here

At Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form, we take pride in our legacy of success. Our students have celebrated outstanding A Level results, progressing to some of the top universities and apprenticeships in the country. Alumni have gone on to study Medicine at Cambridge, History of Art at Oxford, Economics at LSE, and have secured exceptional apprenticeships with organisations such as PwC, JP Morgan and BBC Ofcom.

Our most recent OFSTED inspection rated us ‘Outstanding,’ recognising not only our academic excellence but the personal growth of our students. We believe character development is as important as academic achievement. Students benefit from two weeks of work experience in Year 12, a thriving student leadership body, access to The Access Project for free tuition, and a wide range of workshops and educational visits tailored to their interests.

Our exceptional professional team supports every student’s pastoral and academic journey. With a university‑style structure, form groups are organised by faculty, helping students connect with peers who share their interests and ensuring assemblies and extracurricular opportunities align with their future goals.

Our motto, ‘Tomorrow’s Leaders,’ reflects our commitment to nurturing articulate, mature, kind and successful young adults ready for life beyond Sixth Form.

On behalf of the student body, and as Heads of the Student Leadership Team - Kezia, Kiran, Lyonne, and El Rafael we are excited to introduce ourselves and share what makes Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form so special.

Our motto, Tomorrow’s Leaders, underpins everything we do. This is a Sixth Form that supports and challenges us to reach our highest potential, preparing us to truly become the leaders of tomorrow.

Our teachers consistently go above and beyond - arriving early to help with studies and staying late after school. We also benefit from an extended schools programme, offering extra lessons on Saturdays and during holidays in the run-up to exams.

But Sixth Form life here isn’t just about grades. Personal growth and leadership development are equally important. We lead charity days, cultural celebrations, and sporting events. Through partnerships with external organisations, students are matched with mentors from business, medical, and arts sectors, aligned to our subject specialisms. Some opportunities even include paid internships during the summer holidays.

For those aspiring to Oxbridge or careers in medicine and dentistry, our dedicated Scholar’s Programme provides tailored support to help students achieve their ambitions.

We’re proud of our history of success. Alumni have gone on to study at prestigious universities including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, King’s College London, and UCL, as well as securing apprenticeships with leading organisations such as PwC, JP Morgan, and Ofcom.

If you’re ambitious and looking for a professional Sixth Form that truly cares about your future, this is the place for you!

On Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, a group of our Year 12 students visited the Metropolitan Police Crime Museum as part of their Forensics and Criminology course.

The experience took them on a fascinating historical journey, showcasing evidence from some of the UK’s most notorious cases - including Jack the Ripper and the Kray Twins. These exhibits sparked great interest and discussion among the students.

The visit provided valuable insight into chains of custody and the long-term storage of evidence, deepening their understanding and supporting their upcoming assignments.

It was an inspiring day that brought classroom learning to life!

Woolwich Poly Community Raises £2,716.92 for Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund

When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica, many of our staff, students, and families were directly impacted. In true Woolwich Poly spirit, our community came together with compassion, creativity, and generosity to make a difference.

On 14th November, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls hosted a vibrant fundraiser filled with Bob Marley’s music, joyful dancing, and unity in green, gold, and black. This event raised £465, alongside further family contributions.

On 26th November, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys held “A Taste of Jamaica” - an extraordinary evening featuring home-cooked dishes, lively music, a quiz, and raffle prizes. Thanks to the dedication of staff and sixth form students, this event raised an incredible £2,251.92.

Together, our schools raised a grand total of £2,716.92 in aid of the Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund.

This achievement is a testament to the strength of our community - from those who donated prizes, shared their cooking talents, gave their time, and most importantly, gave so generously. Every penny will go directly to support those affected.

We are proud to celebrate this collective effort and grateful to everyone who made it possible. 💛💚🖤
