Overview
Overview
Framlingham College carries pupils from age 2 through Prep, senior and Sixth Form, with both day and boarding places. Its Church of England foundation provides continuity across those stages, while flexible arrangements allow pupils to remain within the same college as their academic programme becomes more specialised.
Years 9 to 11 combine English, Mathematics and Science with languages, humanities, Computer Science, creative subjects and Physical Education. Sixth Form students can mix A Levels and BTEC courses, then add an Extended Project Qualification or Gold Arts Award. That mixed academic and vocational option gives the post-16 offer more shape than a purely A-level route.
Sport, the Combined Cadet Force, Duke of Edinburgh, drama, music, fundraising and voluntary work form a substantial part of sixth-form life. Entry is open from nursery to Year 12 and can involve interview, English and Mathematics assessments, a recent report and a current-school reference. The exact combination depends on the point of entry and the course selected.
