Why Highworth?

Post-16 education is an exciting prospect – a time to build on GCSE successes and maximise opportunities for the next stage in life. One of the most important decisions is to choose the course of study which best fits individual talents, strengths and needs.

We do all we can to accommodate student choice and with 29 A Level subjects on offer, students have an array of exciting options.
