Welcome
Schools within the Haberdashers’ Academies Trust South have provided excellent Sixth Form opportunities for well over a hundred years. The Sixth Form at Crayford Academy was established in September 2015 and builds upon this strong record with an ethos and expectations of high academic outcomes. Our Sixth Form fosters a culture of community and belonging. All of our young people have responsibility and purpose whilst they study at Crayford, through several roles offered to them including The Youth Advisory Board, reading buddies, prefects and the charity team. Also, our pupils have a world of opportunities at their fingertips through our unique character curriculum: The Haberdashers' Advantage. It is with thanks to our staff, the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, our community, and our many partners, that the Haberdashers' experience for every pupil is like no other. By giving them this advantage, we support our pupils to be happy, confident and successful individuals who will contribute to making their communities – and the world – a better place. Our Sixth Form community thrive from Careers Events, The Haberdashers' Aspire Mentoring Programme, The Livery Awards and The Haberdashers Wilderness Foundation to name but a few.
Haberdashers' Crayford Sixth Form offers the opportunity for young people to study, socialise and develop in a structured and caring environment.
Our students make excellent progress in their studies and become well rounded individuals ready for their next steps in Higher Education, apprenticeships or employment.
We are a highly popular Sixth Form with a thriving community of approximately 130 students who make a significant contribution to school life.
Our Sixth Form Leaders 2025-26
I am so excited to be your Head Boy! I have been a part of the school since I was in year 7 and I am currently studying History, Psychology, and Sports Science, with the hope of going into a career in Broadcast Journalism after Sixth Form. Now, most of you would probably recognise me if you have attended or been a part of our regular school productions, as I am usually the compere for these shows. Performing is something that I am very passionate about because it has taught me the value of confidence and courage, which are skills that have helped me grow in life, and I believe they're skills that can benefit everyone! In my time as Head Boy, I look forward to getting the chance to work with as many of you as possible so that we can grow our already amazing school community to ensure that we are in a school where everyone has the confidence and courage to have a voice because we are together, stronger!
- Ben Martin, Head Boy 2025-26
I am truly honoured to serve as your Head Girl. I study Biology, Chemistry, and Government and Politics. Since joining Haberdashers’ in September 2019, I’ve grown both academically and personally, learning valuable lessons inside and outside the classroom. Now as I approach my final academic year, I feel it’s time to give back, to share what I’ve learned and help uplift others. I’m passionate about creating a positive, inclusive environment where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered. That sense of belonging has been so important to me throughout my time at Haberdashers, and I am committed to helping others experience the same. As Head Girl, I look forward to working with you all to build a stronger, more united Crayford community because we are always together, stronger.

Enrichment in the sixth form
Our enrichment programme is varied with students able to choose form a wide range of activities: the Extended Project qualification, which is an excellent preparation for university studies and well-regarded by admissions tutors, Core Maths, The Duke of Edinburgh Scheme, our sports and fitness programme, music lessons, the Debating Society and many others. Our students also take part in a range of national competitions, which gives them access to high-calibre mentoring, coaching and networking experiences. We have fantastic links with the EY Foundation, where successful candidates complete a 12-month programme giving our young people the opportunity to gain paid work experience and take part in interactive employability skills workshops during the school holidays. They are also offered the opportunity to network with both employers and other young people, as well as having access to their own supportive mentor to help guide them into the first stage of a career or higher education.
Leadership in the Sixth Form
A key strategy we use to ensure our students can fulfil their personal and academic aspirations is through providing a wide range of opportunities. Student leadership is a key priority and we ensure that all sixth formers have the chance to fulfil a leadership role via our Head Boy and Head Girl Team, becoming a Prefect, Peer Mentoring younger students, charity drives, and by representing the school on a local and even national scale. Our students are fortunate to have the full support and backing of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, giving them a distinct advantage that other Sixth Forms cannot offer.
Destinations
Our Destination pathways are bespoke and cater for a wide range of aspirations; we support students in year 13 to secure places at University, and we work with numerous guest speakers and apprenticeship providers to support students who want to enter the world of employment, apprenticeships and training. Indeed, many of these claim places on highly sought after A-Level leaver programmes.
Ultimately, teaching and learning is our core business and we are proud to boast a high quality of provision across our curriculum which truly distinguishes our Sixth Form. We are proud of the success academically and personally of the young men and women who, when they leave our Sixth Form, are in a far stronger position to make a success of their lives and contribute to the world in which they live.
