Your Path to University & Beyond

Dedicated Sixth Form

The Thomas Adams Sixth Form offers a perfect balance between independence and support. Located in its own dedicated area, students benefit from:

  • Excellent Facilities: Modern study areas, dedicated dining, and social spaces.
  • Flexible Learning: Greater freedoms, such as no school uniform and independent study periods.

Our Sixth Form curriculum offers a broad range of courses, with five hours per subject in Year 12, ensuring valuable contact time with academic experts.

Your Home Away From Home

Adams House Boarding

Adams House provides a “home from home” for students aged 11-18. As a state boarding facility, we offer:

  • Affordable Boarding: Parents only pay for accommodation and supervision; education is funded by the Local Authority.
  • Inclusive Community: A caring, multicultural environment where students feel safe and supported.
  • Experienced Staff: A dedicated team, including our Director of Boarding, ensures students’ well-being and academic support.

Located in a rural setting with excellent transport links to major cities, Adams House is ideal for both UK and international students.
