THS Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form offers personalised learning in an inspirational setting.

We have a track record of high achievement and our specialist staff aim to raise students’ expectations and turn aspirations into reality.

THS Sixth Form students excel in a wide range of subjects whilst developing essential life skills through exceptional co-curricular opportunities and bespoke university and career application support.

As part of our co-curricular programme, there are a variety of activities ranging from drama and film clubs to kayaking, dance, and Duke of Edinburgh. We also allow students to experience running a start-up business, with profits being donated to charity, through our successful Tycoon in Schools programme.

We have the expertise to help students prepare for the transition from Sixth Form to university and beyond and realise how important it is for our students to be workplace ready. We support students in finding suitable work experience and placements as well as guiding them through every stage of the university application process.

We are proud to be recognised as the 13th best performing small independent school sixth form in the UK, and in the top 1% of UK schools for pupil progress.

In September 2021. Teesside High School received recognition for the value added to pupils’ expected examination results, with our Sixth Form singled out for particular praise.

Our Science, A-level Mathematics and Sixth Form (16-18) departments were all been applauded for achieving value-added scores which rank within the top 1% of educational providers in the UK.

Value-added is a measure of the progress students make during their time at school.

At Teesside High School Sixth Form, on average, every student achieved almost a grade higher than their GCSE results suggested they would.

In STEM, every single one of the school’s Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics subjects achieved value-added results which rank within the top 1% of the country, with every STEM student exceeding their A-level examination target by between one and two grades.
