Information

Hewens College is currently undergoing changes as they gained academy status in August 2011. What used to be called the humanities block has now been refurnished into form rooms. Timing for break and lunch have changed for all year groups. The media block is now an area mainly for 6th formers, also the main reception is situated there. Aside from these changes, the school has decided to change its name to Hewens College. There will be a new uniform (with ties for boys, but not for girls), and a new school badge. The alliance the school has made with nearby Rosdale college, has severely changed it, at the displeasure of many students.

6th form

The 6th form is said be in the top five of the borough and has received second place in the tables for the past few years. The 6th form is a well rounded educational experience and has top priority in the school. The school prides its 6th form and produces commendable results. The post 16 offers a wide and varied range of subjects that cater for every individual. From A-levels to B-Techs everyone has an equal opportunity in the school.

Recent Ofsted results discovered that on all marked occasions, the 6th form achieved either 3 (Satisfactory) and 4 (Inadequate).^{[citation needed]}
