Three points that make our Sixth Form stand out: 

1. Partnerships with Leading Businesses:

We have established strong connections with prominent businesses in the City of London. As a preferred partner of the EY Foundation, our students gain preferential access to work experience opportunities at EY and its corporate partners. This partnership has enabled students to gain valuable work experience in various sectors, including business, charities, the public sector, finance, investment banking, real estate, technology, and many more. Additionally, our enhanced partnership with AXA Insurance opens doors for students to receive work experience and mentoring from a range of leading financial services firms specialising in the insurance market and investment banking. 

 2. Support for University Aspirations: 

We support our students to pursue their aspirations of studying at Russell Group universities through our collaborations with The Elephant Group and Realising Opportunities. Participation in these widening participation programs offers students reduced entrance requirements to some of the UK’s top universities, along with comprehensive support throughout the university application process. 

 3. Turing Scheme Grant:

Alec Reed Academy Sixth Form is a recipient of the Government's Turing Scheme grant, which allows us to fully subsidise the cost of an educational visit to Asia each year. Our most recent trip to Thailand in November 2024 funded 22 students to spend ten days in Bangkok, with the total cost of £2,200 per person covered entirely by the grant and Alex Reed Academy.
