Until the end of the 2011/12 academic year, the school participated in a consortium sixth form arrangement. This has been dismantled. Year 12 and 13 students are taught entirely on site.
Curriculum
Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Sprowston aims to teach a broad curriculum as long as feasible. This means they choose to teach a three-year Key Stage 3 where students study core subjects.
French and Spanish are the languages taught.
At Key Stage 5 there are five pathways:
Academic to do the 3 A levels needed for university entrance
Extended academic with 4 A levels
Applied Level 3 vocational courses
Applied Academic which is a combination of A levels and Level 3s
Employability Pathway for Level 2 vocational courses.
