Bohunt Wokingham has announced an important update regarding the development of its new sixth form.
This initiative, which is a collaboration between Bohunt Education Trust (BET) and Wokingham Borough Council (WBC), is part of a significant expansion project that will provide 300 places for sixth form students and add 150 places for younger students, enhancing educational opportunities for the Wokingham community.
Jen Comber, Headteacher at Bohunt Wokingham, said: “We are excited to share that our expansion plans are progressing well and our new sixth form is on track to open in September 2026. This development will not only provide our students with access to high quality post-16 education but also enhance our commitment to our community by adding additional spaces for students aged 11-16.
Neil Strowger, Trust Leader at Bohunt Education Trust, added: “Bohunt Wokingham’s sixth form will be the second to open under the BET umbrella, following the success of the Ofsted-rated Outstanding Bohunt Sixth Form, which has consistently achieved exceptional A Level results since its inception in 2017. This new facility will benefit from the expertise and innovative approach that BET is known for.”
Cllr Prue Bray, executive member for children’s services at Wokingham Borough Council, said:
“We’re pleased to see the plans for the new sixth form progressing and look forward to working closely with the Trust as we deliver these fantastic new facilities. This will be an excellent addition to Bohunt Wokingham, allowing it to broaden its offer to Wokingham young people.”
A preliminary architectural drawing of the new sixth form has been released, providing a glimpse into the future of Bohunt Wokingham. The school will soon consult with staff and students to decide on a name for the new sixth form, ensuring it resonates with the Bohunt brand and the wider school community.
