Impington International Sixth Form is an outstanding
comprehensive sixth form in Cambridge. In our last Ofsted
report, all judgements relating to the sixth form were deemed
‘outstanding’.
For 20 years Impington International Sixth Form has been at
the forefront of innovation in education in its delivery of the IB
Diploma Programme, a course recognised by the British
Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA 2011) as superb
preparation for university.
We are genuinely international. Students join us from the
local area of Cambridge, wider regions of the UK and from
approximately 15 other countries. Such a rich mix of cultural
perspectives enables our students to develop a sense of their
international identity and take their place in the global forum.
Our curriculum, including IB human rights, and our creativity,
action, service programme, demonstrate the opportunities that
students have to engage practically with these ideas, for example
in our partnerships with Menelik Education schools in Kinshasa,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Peace Child India in Bangalore
and our latest venture with Link Ethiopia.

impact that this global ethos has had on his personal and
career development. ‘The global element of the IB provided
me with confidence to have a real belief in myself; to go out
into the world to make a worthy difference, in whatever
capacity I could offer. The IB gave me the distinctive knowhow,
ability and necessary tools to begin to be actively
engaged in the fabulously diverse world of the 21st century.’
(Cultivating a global outlook for the global economy, The
Development Education Association, 2011)
Impington also offers AS/A2 courses, The Performance
School, and, for Post-16 students with significant learning
difficulties, the IDEAL package.
The Performance School continues to attract large numbers
of extremely talented artists, many of whom proceed to
specialist colleges and training centres for professional work.
Within The Performance School students can combine IB
dance – a specialism of our sixth form – with IB theatre, IB
film, or A level qualifications in drama, performing arts,
media studies, digital photography and music technology.
Impington is an exciting place to be: inclusive, inspirational
and international.
