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 2024-25
As Head Girl, I aim to foster an inclusive and safe environment where everyone feels heard and respected. I also aim to continue building on the community we have formed so far and continue to make it better for all students and staff. I hope to study psychology at the University Of Liverpool, when I leave sixth form, as I hope to become a clinical psychologist in the future.
- Lottie Petrou, Head Girl
As Head Boy, I want to contribute to build upon this amazing community and aim to create an environment where every student feels comfortable being in this school. I want to represent this school alongside my team in a positive light and really portray our Crayford values. After Haberdashers' I hope to enter the medical field attending an amazing school like King's College and continue to help many more people for many more years to come."
- Bami Ajala
"As Deputy Head Girl, I am passionate about creating a supportive and vibrant school community. My role involves collaborating with students and staff to enhance our school experience, organizing events, and ensuring that everyone's voice is heard. I work closely with the leadership team to uphold our school's values and drive academic and personal success for all students. I am dedicated to making our school a place where everyone can thrive. I currently study Child Development, Health and Social Care and Human Biology and am hoping to study Midwifery at London South Bank University next year."
- Mary Ward
As Deputy Head Boy, my main goal is to increase extra curriculum activity participation throughout the school. I have a passion for music and sports and will do everything in my power to help others find their passions. When I leave Haberdashers' Crayford Academy, I wish to secure an apprenticeship or work full time at an investment security and equity firm, where I wish to progress in a career in that industry."

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.
