At George Spencer Academy Sixth Form, excellence isn’t just a goal – it’s our culture. This year, we are celebrating yet another set of exceptional A-level and vocational grades achieved by our amazing 6th form students. 30% of all grades awarded were A or A* for another consecutive year and nearly 60% of grades were a B grade or higher. We are extremely proud of this success as it mirrors our focus on the positive impact a small, inclusive and personalised 6th form can have on students’ life chances.
These results keep us firmly amongst the leading Sixth Forms in Nottinghamshire and provide our students the opportunity to reach their aspirations post 18, with all students being equipped and ready for the next stage of their educational journey.
Vice Principal, 6th form lead, Jules Gordon reflects: “These exceptional results showcase the resilience, determination, and ambition of our students, supported by the unwavering commitment of our staff to help every individual excel. Our Sixth Formers join us with bold ambitions for their futures, and through our culture of excellence and passion for learning, they transform those ambitions into remarkable achievements.”

Together, they have developed study skills, built resilience, and demonstrated a true love of learning. It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of this important stage of their educational journey. We wish them the best of luck as they move towards exciting and aspirational career goals.”
