Headteachers launched the prospectus for the new sixth forms opening in September.

Each school opening a new sixth form will host information days for prospective parents and students.

The events and prospectus have been coordinated by Richmond’s Post 16 Partnership, which includes all eight of the secondary schools and both colleges.

Hampton Academy is opening this year, with Christ’s, Grey Court, Orleans Park, Richmond Park Academy, Teddington and Waldegrave opening in September 2014.

Twickenham Academy, which is run by the Learning Schools Trust (LST), opened its sixth form for up to 150 pupils on September 17, 2011.

Waldegrave School headteacher Philippa Nunn said: “The headteachers of Richmond are very pleased to be working in a partnership across the borough to widen the choice for students.

“We are excited by the opportunities that this development will bring to the learners and staff in our schools.”
