Welcome from Head of Sixth Form

Welcome to Khalsa Sixth Redbridge

At Khalsa Sixth Redbridge, we are committed to empowering students to excel in all aspects of life—academically, personally, and socially. Our Personal Development programme lies at the heart of what makes our sixth form exceptional. It is designed to prepare students for further study, success in the professional world, and meaningful contributions to society.

Anchored by our maxim, ‘Together As One’, we cultivate a community that is inclusive, nurturing, challenging, and outward-looking. We welcome students from all backgrounds—whether Sikh, of another faith, or no faith at all—into an environment that values diversity and celebrates unity. For our Sikh students, we offer opportunities to deepen their understanding of their faith and actively participate in the spiritual life of the school, while fostering mutual respect and collaboration among all.

We are proud of our reputation for academic rigour, providing an environment that balances support with challenge to ensure students reach their full potential. Our partnerships with distinguished organisations and institutions, such as EY, Grant Thornton, Young Professionals, the NHS, the Sutton Trust, and the Mayor of London’s Future Leaders Programme, offer students unparalleled opportunities for mentorship, extended work placements, and professional development. For those considering a more vocational pathway, we provide robust support for degree apprenticeships, enabling students to combine academic learning with real-world experience.

Our academic programmes are designed to prepare students for entry to the most prestigious Russell Group universities. With expert guidance for applications to Oxbridge and other competitive fields such as medicine, law, and engineering, we are committed to helping our students realise their aspirations. High-achieving students have the opportunity to take four A-levels or pursue an additional qualification such as the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), ensuring they are exceptionally well-prepared for future challenges.

Beyond academia, students at Khalsa Sixth Redbridge grow as compassionate and responsible individuals. Weekly community volunteering in Year 12 provides opportunities for service and leadership, while our collaboration with Redbridge primary schools educates young learners about Sikhi, fostering understanding and cultural appreciation. These endeavours reflect the British Sikh values of courage, resilience, contentment, compassion, love, truth, and righteousness, which form the cornerstone of our ethos.

In every endeavour, we strive to uphold the highest standards, nurturing students with the character and confidence to excel. At Khalsa Sixth Redbridge, students receive an education that is both broad and deep, preparing them not only for academic success but also for life as thoughtful, engaged, and capable individuals.

We invite you to discover what sets Khalsa Sixth Redbridge apart: a school where academic rigour, personal growth, and a commitment to service come together to inspire greatness.
