Location

The school is located at Maidenbower Lane in the Maidenbower neighbourhood of Crawley, West Sussex. With the Student access from Matthews Drive.

Sixth form

The Sixth Form was opened by West Sussex County Council in 2008 following the opening on Oriel High School in 2004. When Oriel first opened it only catered for Years 7 and 8, thus taking it 4 years to grow to allow a Sixth Form to open. In 2008 the Sixth Form only had one year group, Year 12. But in 2009 all year groups in both Oriel High School and the Sixth Form were full, taking it 5 years to reach full capacity after the school was founded by Ms Gillian Smith as the first Headteacher. With her task of establishing a fully maintained school complete she retired from education in July 2009 after taking a Civil Service role for HM Government.

Organisation

The Sixth Form is not organised into Learning Communities like Oriel High School, however they are spilt in half for supervisory purposes only. The Headteacher and both Deputy Heads are the most senior member of staff for Oriel Sixth Form, however there is an appointed Assistant Head of Sixth who is directly in charge. Students are taught by specialist teachers, and also belong to a vertically-mixed Personal Tutor Group, which are supervised by a Senior VIth Tutor.

Dress code

Oriel Sixth Form does not require it's student to wear the Oriel Tartan uniform, the Oriel Sixth Form committee agreed that student's must adhere to a Smart Casual attire. Occasionally the Head of Sixth will request student's to wear Formal Dress
