Did you know?

  • A bee has five eyes, two large compound eyes on either side of its head, and three ocelli (primitive eyes) on top of its head to detect light intensity!
  • Bees use the sun as a compass. Even when the sun is obscured by clouds, bees can detect it's position from the light in brighter patches of the sky!
  • A bee travels an average of 1600 round trips in order to produce one ounce of honey; up to 6 miles per trip. To produce 2 pounds of honey, bees travel a distance equal to 4 times around the earth!
  • Honeybees visit about 2 million flowers to make one pound of honey!

Why Small Heath School Sixth Form?

Many students already at Small Heath School decide to continue into the sixth form because they are aware of its excellent reputation for teaching A levels, AVCEs and OCR Nationals. In addition, however, many students from neighboring schools apply to our sixth form because they are keen to be part of a sixth form where they know they will feel valued as an individual and where they will do well provided they are prepared to work to the best of their abilities. Indeed, some of our most successful students come from elsewhere, attracted by what we have to offer them. Where ever you come from, you will receive the same friendly welcome.

We are justly very proud of our results and very nearly all of our final year A level students go on to University, both locally and further afield.
