Message from Head of Sixth Form
At The Royal Harbour Academy we are incredibly proud to offer the prestigious International Career Related Programme (IBCP). We have a well designed variety of academic and vocational courses that support the development of all learners. Our Sixth Form outcomes have been excellent for several years, with the greatest achievement being young people going onto their chosen destination, whether that be University, Apprenticeship or into Employment.
The very essence of the IBCP encourages our students to develop crucial skills that will enable them to enter adulthood as confident, well-rounded and independent people. We have taken the IB learner profile and the principles of learning to create a curriculum that is tailored to the students in front of us making it a unique experience for each year group. In addition to classroom learning, we take great pride in our broad offer of educational trips and visits to help our student's develop skills and confidence outside of the classroom.
