Djanogly City Academy Sixth Form, which is based within the school’s Sherwood Rise site, opened in September 2022 following a £250,000 refurbishment.

The school was recently awarded a £100,000 charity grant from the Wolfson Foundation to further expand its sixth form.

The sixth form offers A Levels in art, biology, business, chemistry, computer science, design and technology, drama, economics, English language, English literature, geography, history, maths, further maths, music, sociology, philosophy and ethics, physics, psychology and the extended project qualification.
