We thrive on supporting our students’ aspirations and constantly aim to inspire, challenge and support them as they chase their dreams. With their own hard work and the commitment of our team, year after year our students achieve amazing things.
Outside the classroom we offer a wealth of activities and societies for students to join, including positions of responsibility throughout the whole school. We provide our students with experiences they need to develop into confident young people who can make the most of life’s challenges and opportunities and have built a provision that allows our students leave us with treasured memories.

Equality Objectives
The Hinckley Sixth Form, part of The Hinckley School are committed to Building Brighter Futures for our students, our staff and our community. This commitment includes targeted action to address inequality and ensure disadvantaged groups are proactively supported to access the educational opportunities we offer.
We are working towards six Equality Objectives:
-
To narrow the progress and attainment gaps in English and Maths for disadvantaged students and for those identified as having barriers to their learning including SEND, CLA and pCLA so they are in line with national average.
- To provide high quality provision and strong support (academic; attendance, behaviour and well-being) for students who have the most significant gaps in their learning as a result of the pandemic, with a particular focus on students in Years 10 and 12, so achievement is at least in line with national average.
- To improve the attendance rates and reduce the persistent absence of all students and in particular disadvantaged students and for those identified as having barriers to their learning including SEND, CLA and pCLA, so they are in line with national average.
- To increase student aspiration and equality of opportunity through high quality teaching and learning, careers advice and guidance and enrichment opportunities to maximise positive destinations and reduce NEET.
- To ensure that all students and staff are aware of the protected characteristics, embed a culture tolerance and respect, and ensure there is no bias, discrimination or prejudice towards these groups resulting in a reduction of negative incidents.
- To ensure staff well-being and welfare are a high priority in the decision-making processes resulting in a highly satisfied and committed workforce.
