Over 300 students study at the school sixth form. The Sixth Form students differ from the school's pupils in that they wear no uniform.

The sixth form and business studies building was opened in September 2010 in order to allow for the ever-increasing student population, replacing the previous facility, now known as the hill block. The new sixth form building features a quiet study area, a cafeteria, surrounding classrooms, and a large communal atrium where students can socialise. The atrium is also used for assemblies and school events.
