A warm welcome offered to all potential Year 12 students at Lady Lumley’s Academy in Pickering – open evening

Lady Lumley’s sixth form is a place where students can thrive. In 2024 OFSTED described it as a place where “Students in the sixth form are proud to be at Lady Lumley’s. They value the positive relationships that they have with staff. One student told the inspectors, ‘It is like being part of a family’. This comment was typical of many others.”

Our outcomes give our students life chances, the product of an environment that supports and challenges students to truly thrive. In 2024, progress was the best in the Ryedale area. In 2025, grades improved even further, with an increase in A*- A and A*- C grades. Destinations in 2025 include Cambridge, Russell Group universities, local apprenticeships, employment and gap years.

Through a personal development curriculum, sixth form students are supported to develop as people and academics. Across tutor time, Life lessons and assemblies, skills and mindsets are focused on to ensure students make rapid progress and become outstanding members of the local, national and global community.

Our enriched learning environment includes our Aspire group for higher level critical thinking, the excellent Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, trips abroad to Paris and Berlin for our Art and MFL students, outdoor education visits to the local North York Moors, careers conventions across the region, the Extended Project, subject visits to university workshops where our students get to work with university professors and lots more!

The school community is looking forward to you visiting us on Wednesday 22nd October between 6.00pm-7.30pm.
