Life at TCA Sixth Form
Watch the short film below to hear from our Head of Sixth Form and some of our current students:
&n Thomas Clarkson Academy, which was awarded a 'Good' judgement by Ofsted in February 2020, has the highest expectations for all its students, their families and our staff. It is proud to be a multicultural community that embraces the Brooke Weston Trust ethos and puts excellent progress and the personal development of students at the heart of everything it does. Thomas Clarkson Academy continues to develop as the school of choice for local families where the opportunities it offers allow talents to flourish within and beyond the classroom. Students develop as aspirational, thoughtful, resilient learners, well-equipped to fulfil their personal and academic dreams. Staff at the academy thrive on challenge, are reflective and enjoy purposeful, meaningful partnerships with local schools and the wider community, all of whom support us in our resolute aim to raise standards. Thomas Clarkson Academy is fast becoming an employer of choice, providing excellent professional development for staff in order to create an outstanding place for all to work and learn. At The Wisbech Academy, part of the Brooke Weston Trust, we are thrilled that we have been able to open our doors earlier than planned due to the high demand for school places in North Cambridgeshire. Initially, we are operating from a designated area within Thomas Clarkson Academy, providing our students with a supportive and enriching environment as we prepare for our future. We are excited about our plans for a modern temporary building, which we expect to transition into later this academic year. Looking ahead, our permanent facility is projected to open in 2026, ensuring that our students will have access to state-of-the-art learning spaces. We are actively working with Cambridgeshire County Council and the Department for Education to ensure that both our temporary and permanent buildings are completed as quickly as possible. Our commitment is to create a vibrant educational environment that meets the needs of our community and inspires our students to achieve their bestThomas Clarkson Academy
