A new science specialist sixth form – Carbon 6 Academy of Science – is set to open in 2026 at Sandwich science and innovation campus, Discovery Park. The academy is designed for those looking to pursue a STEM career and will be ideal for ambitious students aged 16-18 with a passion for science and maths.
The unique location within world-class Discovery Park will give students access to state-of-the-art professional laboratories and research facilities. The first of its kind in the UK to offer a specialist science and maths sixth form embedded within an existing scientific park, the college is also industry-backed, with mentoring and guest lectures from Discovery Park’s onsite companies, including businesses working in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing and more. With applications opening soon for the first Year 12 intake for September 2026, students can study A-levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths, with additional opportunities in Further Maths and Extended Project Qualifications.
