Sixth form

In the close of 2022, Hellesdon High School underwent a restructuring [9] , resulting in the separation of its sixth form provision. The school previously housed both secondary and sixth form education on site. With this division, Hellesdon High School now operates independently alongside Hellesdon Sixth Form, each with its own distinct identity and roles.

As part of this reorganisation, a new logo was introduced for Hellesdon Sixth Form [10] , and the former Hellesdon High School building, known as F Block, was repurposed to accommodate the new sixth form [11] .

Previously, the school shared a sixth form provision with Taverham High School, but this was phased out in September 2014. [12]
