We combine academic challenge, personalised guidance, and real-world opportunity, empowering every student to reach their goals and step confidently into their future.
Breadth of University Courses & Apprenticeships
At Hammersmith Academy, success is not defined by a single pathway. It is defined by choice, ambition and opportunity.
Our students progress to an exceptional breadth of destinations, from Oxbridge and Russell Group universities to competitive degree apprenticeships with leading global employers. They go on to study a wide range of courses, including Medicine, Law and Mathematics, as well as Fine Art, Neuroscience, Game Development and Design.
Every student is supported to discover their pathway and pursue it with confidence.
Whatever their ambition, our students leave us prepared to achieve real world success.

“It was an amazing feeling to see all my hard work throughout Sixth Form pay off. The Sixth Form and Careers Team supported me at every stage of my A Level studies and UCAS application, from mock interviews to regular one to one support to develop my personal statement.

Becky Beautyman – A*AAA, Psychology, University of Bath
Becky’s Story
Becky achieved A*AAA and secured her place to study Psychology at the University of Bath. Personalised support from the Sixth Form and Careers Team helped her strengthen her application and explore the opportunities available to her.
“I’m so excited to start university. The support from Hammersmith Academy has been amazing throughout the whole process. Miss Harrowes was always there to answer my questions and help with my application, while Miss Brooke helped make my personal statement specific to Psychology. Hammersmith Academy really opens so many doors, and the Careers Team is always there to offer advice, whatever pathway you are considering.”
Ellie Ghouneim – Construction Management Degree Apprenticeship, Construction Logistics Group
Ellie’s Story
Through opportunities provided by the Careers Team, Ellie discovered an industry and career she had not previously considered. She went on to secure a highly competitive Construction Management degree apprenticeship with Construction Logistics Group.
“I enjoyed academia, but through the opportunities the Careers Team gave me, I realised I was much more drawn to the practical world. They introduced me to an industry and career I didn’t even know existed and encouraged me to take opportunities I would never have considered myself. I genuinely don’t think I would have the confidence and ambition I have today without Hammersmith Academy Sixth Form.”
Asya Al-Wafai – Dist*AA, Sport & Exercise Science, Loughborough University
Asya’s Story
Asya combined academic and vocational study to secure a place at Loughborough University. Her Sixth Form experience helped her develop the confidence to move beyond London, step outside her comfort zone and pursue her ambitions.
“I felt so fulfilled when I found out I had secured my place at Loughborough. Moving away from London felt nerve wracking at first, but I’ve gained the confidence to step outside my comfort zone and embrace the opportunities ahead. The support from our teachers has been incredible, whether staying late to work through difficult questions or even bringing us a hot chocolate when we were still revising after 6pm! There’s a real community feel at Hammersmith Academy Sixth Form that makes it such a lovely environment to be part of.”
Numair Huda – A*AA, Economics, Finance & Data Science, Imperial College London
Numair’s Story
Numair explored both university and apprenticeship pathways before securing a place on his dream course at Imperial College London. Careers guidance helped him explore his options, strengthen his application and make an informed decision about his future.
“I initially wasn’t sure whether university or an apprenticeship was the right route for me. The Careers Team encouraged me to keep an open mind, explore my options and understand which pathway best suited my ambitions. Their support and feedback helped me strengthen my application and ultimately apply to my dream university. My advice to other students would be to stay open minded and take advantage of the guidance available to you.”
