Sixth Form at Charlton Park Academy
Our Sixth Form supports young people to build confidence, independence and real-world skills as they prepare for adulthood.
Learning is personalised through each student’s EHCP and Future Plan, ensuring their strengths, needs and aspirations shape their pathway.
Our curriculum focuses on the key areas of Preparation for Adulthood, including:
- Friendships and community participation
- Education and lifelong learning
- Employment, training and work experience
- Health, wellbeing and independence
We work closely with families and partner organisations to support smooth transitions beyond Sixth Form, including college, supported internships, adult social care and community opportunities.
Our aim is for every student to leave Sixth Form with clear next steps and the skills to thrive beyond Charlton Park Academy.

A Supported Internship Programme acts as a bridging year between education and paid employment lasting 12 months. It is for young people with an Educational Health & Care Plan(EHCP) who require extra support to be work ready. Usually, the interns will be based in a host business for a year and have the opportunity to try out three different work rotations in that time. There will be real jobs where the interns can develop their employability skills and understanding of what they would like to do in the future.
A whole on-site team of people will work with the interns to help them to be ready to enter the world of work at the end of the programme. These include a Tutor who will help the intern towards Employability skills, English and Maths qualifications at an appropriate level; A Job Coach who will help the interns learn the job role in each work rotation by breaking the task down into small steps until the intern can carry out their work independently; A business Liaison representative from the host business who helps the team find rotations that match each intern’s aspirations and work mentor in each department.
