What makes us a great choice

Thank you for showing an interest in joining our Sixth Form at Jesmond Park Academy; part of the Gosforth Group multi academy trust.

We believe we are a great choice for Sixth Form life and progression. On offer we have around 32 A Level and BTEC subjects to choose from, dedicated ‘Sixth Form only’ facilities and study areas, plus a fantastic support team on hand to help you achieve your goals and aspirations.

Last year, in addition to our own students progressing into Sixth Form, we welcomed a record number of external students from other schools in Newcastle and beyond. You are sure to find a warm welcome waiting for you.

Enrolment into our Sixth Form, to join us from September 2025, will take place in school on 22nd August 2025. However, we urge all students looking to join us from other schools to register your interest with us now by completing our online form. On submission of the form, our Sixth Form team will contact you to discuss your ambitions, the next steps and will invite you to come and visit us to meet the team and see our facilities.
