A school in March is not running a sixth form for the next educational year as it would be "financially unviable".
Neale-Wade Academy, which is run by The Active Learning Trust, said the decision has been made due to low levels of interest.
In a letter sent to parents and carers of pupils who applied to continue their studies at Neale-Wade, principal Graham Horn said: "As you are aware, our sixth form is small and courses can only run if we receive enough applications.
"Unfortunately, we have not received the numbers we need to run courses for your son/daughter's year group in September.
"We are therefore unable to run these courses as they are financially unviable."

The letter however states that a range of courses are available at Cromwell Community College in Chatteris - which is also run by the Active Learning Trust - and that "a public bus service runs from from March to Cromwell".
He adds: "I can assure you that we are absolutely committed to supporting very student as they decide on the best next step for their education."
The letter also states that all applicants have been updated and advised to contact the school for further advice and support.
"Our current Year 12 students will continue into Year 13 and we are committed to reviewing the uptake each year," Mr Horn adds.
"I apologise for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding."
