About us

Who are Newman Sixth?

Newman Sixth is the top provider of KS5 education in Luton; we have the highest points per A-level, and the best retention rates across the borough. We achieve excellent results that empower our students to secure aspirational destinations.

With 46% of students achieving A*-B in the summer of 2024, it meant that over 80% of our students went on to secure their place at University with a quarter of those progressing to universities ranked in the top third of universities in the UK, including the University of Cambridge, UCL, and Imperial College London. 

We have a very strong Oxbridge and 'Into Medicine' programme that provides weekly mentoring, high-order thinking tasks, and mock interviews to prepare students for ambitious careers.

Our careers programme also provides comprehensive support to students who want to explore alternative post-eighteen destinations, and in 2024 we were proud that 10% of our cohort secured Degree-level apprenticeships at renowned businesses across the country; this percentage is set to increase again this year.

We offer a wide range of A-level subjects alongside a number of vocational courses. This is alongside our personal development, and character curriculum which together ensure that students are prepared for the ever-changing world beyond our doors. These curriculums allow us to nurture and challenge every student so that they have the confidence to soar.

We are proud of our diverse community and the compassion that every student has for each other. Every year we accept a number of external students from many different faiths and this allows our students to remain continuously curious and open to the perspectives of others.
