The Governing Body of Barnwell School, together with the staff, is immensely proud of the achievement of students in the sixth form.

The pass rate at A2 Level (Year 13) was 94% and students undertaking Level 3 BTEC courses achieved a 100% pass rate.

We are delighted with the success of our students, particularly those who are now moving onto their next stage of education at University or work based training and development and wish all of them the very best of luck in the future.

"Outstanding Provision " - Ofsted Feb 2009

Barnwell School's Sixth Form is a large and thriving part of our school community. Exam performance judged by Value Added is above the national average and the size of the Sixth Form allows us to provide over 30 `A' Levels. When the government published in January 2009 the national 2009 Post 16 results, Barnwell came out very well. When measuring progress made in Years 12-13 our Contextual Value Added or CVA was the highest in Stevenage and North Herts and in the top ten in Hertfordshire. This was reflected in our Ofsted Inspection in Feb 2009 that noted all aspects of the Sixth Form as Good and Outstanding.

With around 250 students studying Post 16 courses we offer a very wide range of subjects at Level 2 and Level 3. In addition, our students benefit from a very large, brand new study and social area which includes a computer suite with over 50 PC's, a cafe area and social facilities.

If a student wishes to study a course or combination that we are unable to offer, the Stevenage 14-19 Partnership allows the students to study one of their subjects at another school or North Herts College. This is part of a town wide programme to provide maximum opportunities for our students.
