You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and share our single goal of ‘students first’.

Our Post 16 Centre offers the opportunity for high achievement in the friendly and caring atmosphere, which is the hallmark of Outwood Grange Academy as a whole. Ofsted championed the success and achievement of all students that attend Outwood Grange, including the Post 16 Centre, when they reported:
“The sixth form is outstanding. Students of all abilities are admitted and all groups make rapid progress through courses well suited to their needs and aspirations.”

The results at Post 16 are outstanding and some of the best in the area: the average point score per entry was 223.3; the percentage of students achieving A*-B grades has risen from 53% to 60% over the past two years; the NEET figure has maintained at 0%; the number of students going onto university is expected to increase from 77% to 83% this academic year and those going to Russell Group institutions will also rise from 27% to 34%.
