We look for motivated, positive students who are committed to success and personal progress. The Sixth Form is made up of all types of students with different ideas, learning preferences and needs, but they all share the common goal of wanting to do well on their post 16 courses. All students need to meet the entry requirements for the Sixth Form of 6 GCSEs Grade 4 and above including English Language and Mathematics plus the specific entry requirements for their chosen courses.
This depends on your ability and career aspirations. Most students will study equivalent to three and a half A Levels however, the most able students may study a 4 A level programme. Some vocational courses such as BTEC Sport area available as Single and Double options. These can be combined with A Level courses and/or other vocational courses.
Madeley Academy runs on the TTS model and shares resources and staff with its sister school. This means that you will benefit from the expertise of both Schools. Some lessons may operate on the TTS site and transport will be provided if this is the case.

Students enrol in August after GCSE results are published. This is when you will have a second meeting with a member of staff to review subject choices. All students need to meet the entry requirements for the Sixth Form of 6 GCSEs Grade 4 and above including English Language and Mathematics plus the specific entry requirements for their chosen courses. It is possible to change courses from original choices if this fits on the timetable and if there is space on the courses.
