2012 Go ahead for Sixth form at Twickenham Academy

We are delighted that this week Lord Hill, Minister of Education approved the development of Sixth Forms at the two LST Academies in Richmond.

“We are delighted that we will be able to extend our unique model of personalised learning into the sixth form, giving our students the independent study and personal management skills they will need  to be successful in work and further education. Our personalised approach allows our students to study at their own pace and to take qualifications early. It´s about providing an extra challenge and support for our students to achieve more than they thought possible. We are confident that we have the quality of teachers to lead these programmes and remain committed to further developing the programme to meet the expectations of our students, parents and the community."
John Baumber CEO and Education Director, Learning Schools Trust
