Sixth Form


TEXT

CAST Sixth Form is an inspiring, specialist science academy. The sixth form offers a programme of A level and T level courses along with a unique opportunity to work with nearby business organisations involved in science.

Situated in the heart of Cambridge’s Biomedical Campus, the college is surrounded by world-leading academic and commercial organisations which sponsor, support and contribute to the life and work of the college.

Students work in state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities, learning in innovative and exciting ways, supported by CAST’s unique partnerships with business. CAST Sixth Form therefore gives its students a head start into their future careers.

Business employees lead college ‘Challenge’ projects. These engage and stretch all students for one day a week, every week, introducing them to real and relevant research and work. This provides every learner with a portfolio of experiences and attributes that are highly prized by universities and employers alike.

CAST is part of United Learning and is also supported by the Baker Dearing Trust as a University Technical College (UTC).
