SHARING EXCELLENCE
The central aim of the South London Sixth (SL6) is 'sharing excellence' and our success over time supports this ambition.
The SL6 comprises the sixth forms at Dunraven, St Martin’s and The Elmgreen schools and, from September 2018, City Heights Academy. SL6 offers the expertise, challenge and subject breadth of a large college within the supportive environment of a school which knows you as an individual. Students are based in one school but have the option of studying a course in another in order to ensure that they can access the best range of subjects for them.
