Welcome from Mrs Knapton, Assistant Headteacher: Director of sixth form
Welcome from Mrs Gadsby, Sixth Form Pastoral Leader

Tadcaster Grammar school has a thriving, successful Sixth Form; we are committed to providing the highest standard of education and a positive and motivating learning environment for all students.

Our Sixth Form offers an extensive range of academic and vocational courses, as well as many extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities. We encourage independent learning, with exceptional academic and pastoral support delivered by our first-rate sixth form team. Outside the classroom there are opportunities to play a role as one of the senior members of the school, taking on responsibility and developing leadership skills.

Students who study at Tadcaster Grammar School are hugely successful with over a third of all students achieving A*-A grades and going on to study at elite Russell Group universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, with others winning places on high-level apprenticeships.
Tadcaster Grammar School is the perfect environment to deepen your study of subjects you studied at GCSE or to embark upon new courses. We know from experience and from consultation with our students that if you join us you are very likely to have a rewarding and successful time.
We believe that Sixth Form is the most exciting time in a student’s life. A new era marked by significant development both academically and socially.
It’s the gateway to your future career, and we look forward to welcoming you to the School.
Mrs R Knapton
Assistant Headteacher: Director of Sixth Form
