THS Sixth Form

Our Sixth Form offers personalised learning in an inspirational setting.

We are ranked within the top 2% of schools and colleges nationally for Sixth Form student progress.

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 best school in Teesside for student progress at A-level.

In February 2025. Teesside High School received recognition for the value added to pupils’ expected A-level examination results.

THS Sixth Form has the highest Progress Score of 16 post-16 schools and colleges across Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland.

The league table outcome places Teesside High School in the top 2% of A-level providers nationally, and in the top 100 schools or colleges in the UK.

A Progress Score evaluates how much better a student performs against what is expected given their prior examination results.

Teesside High School is the only school or college in the Tees Valley to have its Progress Score measure rated as ‘well above average’ at 0.42, meaning pupils, on average, achieve A-level results almost half a grade higher than their predictions suggest.

For A-level students across Teesside and the North East.

Housed in our purpose-built Sixth Form building overlooking our wooded grounds and the banks of the River Tees, students benefit from small class sizes in seminar-style classrooms, a large common room, quiet study areas and conference-style facilities suited for group work; a perfect pre-university environment which inspires our students to great success.

We are based in Stockton-on-Tees, and boast a wide catchment area with a private bus service running throughout Teesside and the North East region, covering Yarm, Hartlepool, Darlington, North Yorkshire, and surrounding villages.
