Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge

In its own words: "Hills Road has been an important part of my life for a long time. I was a student here myself and I know first-hand what it feels like to walk through these doors: excited about the future, perhaps a little unsure of what lies ahead and ready to discover what you might be capable of."

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include cross-country, cooking and photography.

Hills Road Sixth Form College is run by its own single-school academy trust.

Of the 1347 students who left the sixth form in 2023/24, 61% went on to university or other higher education, 2% to apprenticeships and 26% into work. 55% went to one of the most selective third of universities.

The nearest railway station is Cambridge Rail Station, about 680 metres away (roughly a 9-minute walk).

6 bus stops are within a five-minute walk; the closest is Hills Rd 6th Form Col (outside), 60 metres away.
