Norfolk sixth form announces plans to scrap A-level courses this year

Sheringham Sixth Form, run by Synergy Multi-Academy Trust, has revealed that it will not be running any Year 12 A-level courses from September 2026.

In an email that was shared by Alastair Ogle, the Trust’s chief executive officer, it said a sixth form needs at least 100 students per year to be "financially viable" under Department of Education guidance.

But this year, the sixth form said only 50 students were projected to join for the 2026 cohort which led to the decision.

Now these students will be able to transfer their application to Reepham College, where transport will be provided following a route with stops at Cromer, Sheringham and Holt.
