The Pool Hayes Sixth Form is Good.  Our results in 2017 placed us amongst the best schools nationally for vocational subjects and amongst the best in Walsall for academic subjects.  The ethos, support and aspiration within our Sixth Form makes it a great place to study.  Our students learn well, achieve well and use our Sixth Form as a spring board to Higher Education, apprenticeships and employment with us having a 100% success rate for students going onto further education, employment or training for the last two years.
