Our Sixth Form
At Lakeview Sixth Form, we are committed to providing you with a nurturing and challenging environment where you can thrive academically and personally. My team and I understand that the transition to sixth form can be both exciting and daunting, which is why we ensure that every student is supported through every step of their journey. From the moment you join us, you will benefit from a tailored approach that focuses on your unique strengths and aspirations.
Our academic programme is rigorous and designed to help you develop the skills necessary for success at the highest levels, whether you are heading to university or pursuing a career. But we believe that learning goes beyond just the classroom. Our pastoral care team will work closely with you to ensure that your experience is holistic, offering you support, guidance, and opportunities for personal growth that will serve you both now and in the future.
At Lakeview, you will also have access to a broad range of enrichment activities that allow you to grow as an individual, contribute to the community, and build a set of experiences that will make you stand out in the world beyond sixth form.
Ultimately, we want you to leave us not only with excellent exam results but with a sense of personal achievement, ready to take on the next stage of your journey, whether that’s higher education or an exciting career path. We’re here to excite minds for successful futures, and we look forward to being a part of your journey.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Baxter-Williams
Head Teacher
What’s happening at Chilwell School Sixth Form
✨ Charity Fundraiser for The Wolfpack Project ✨
On 28th November 2024, Chilwell Sixth Form came together to raise £200.85, which was split between supporting The Wolfpack Project — a Nottingham-based mental health charity — and creating a memorial for Omari Thomas.
The afternoon was filled with joy and laughter, featuring a quiz with a prize for the winner, a delicious bake sale, and a raffle with amazing products from Boots. Everyone loved their goody bags, enjoyed the treats, and had a fantastic time.
It was the perfect way to unwind before the upcoming Year 13 mock exams. Huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed!

Welcome from Our Head of Sixth Form
As you embark on your Post-16 journey, this is an exciting time in your life—where you start narrowing your focus, gaining more independence, and exploring what you truly want to achieve in the world. My vision as Head of Sixth Form is to create an environment where you can thrive, grow, and become the best version of yourself. At Lakeview Sixth Form, we work together to turn this vision into a reality.
The Lakeview building itself is a dynamic and vibrant learning space, offering you ample opportunities to study, socialise, and connect with your peers and the sixth form team. This environment is designed to foster both academic success and personal growth. It’s a place where you can find the support you need and take ownership of your learning journey.
One of the things that sets Lakeview apart is our exceptional team of dedicated professionals. From high-quality teaching to pastoral care and career guidance, we are committed to helping you achieve your goals. We believe that a strong, supportive team is key to ensuring you have the best possible experience during your time with us.
In addition to your academic studies, we offer a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities that will help you develop as a well-rounded, balanced, and future-ready individual. My ambition is that, when you leave Lakeview Sixth Form, you will have developed a unique personal brand—something that sets you apart and reflects your experiences, achievements, and passions.
I look forward to meeting each of you personally, and I am excited for what lies ahead. The next two years will be both challenging and rewarding, and we will be here to support you every step of the way. I hope this handbook helps you understand how we work and what you can expect from us during your time here.
Yours sincerely,
Jason Nichols
Head of Sixth Form
