At Huxlow and Rushden Academy Sixth Form, all students follow a study programme that is tailored to their individual needs and aspirations. We provide students with a unique opportunity to study a combination of A Levels and vocational courses to meet the needs and aspirations of the students we serve. Any students who have not achieved the required level in English and Maths GCSE are expected to attend timetabled lessons to help them to work towards the achievement of these qualifications.

The Sixth Form study programmes also include a substantial amount of non-qualification activity, including weekly tutorials, work experience, study skills, and study support. Students are also offered the opportunity to access a wide range of accredited and non-accredited enrichment activities, including the Level 3 EPQ, Core Maths, DofE, charity and volunteer work.

All students are expected to achieve the goal of a minimum of ten hours work experience during their time in the Sixth Form. There are also a number of 'next-step' career and work-related opportunities such as the annual Futures Week, industry-specific career talks, HE briefings and university masterclasses. The Sixth Form has a close working partnership with Prospects who provide bespoke careers, information, advice, and guidance (CEIAG) to all students. To ensure that we are meeting the needs of each individual, all students will have a meeting with a career advisor.

All students at TENC are expected to strive for 100% attendance. Any student whose attendance falls below 90% will be subject to appropriate disciplinary proceedings which will be decided by the Director of Sixth Form. This may result in a student losing their place in the Sixth Form.

Courses may be delivered across multiple sites, or may be split by year group at different sites.
