'''Downfield Sixth Form''' was a [[sixth-form]] college located in [[Stroud, Gloucestershire]] until 2017. The building continued to provide shared sixth form provision for [[Marling School]] Sixth Form and [[Stroud High School]] Sixth Form.

It provided post-school level education of Years 12 and 13, the majority of which were from [[Marling School]], and [[Stroud High School]]. The Sixth Form was part of the Stroud Post 16 Consortium which included [[Archway School]] and [[South Gloucestershire and Stroud College]]. It is situated in Downfield Lane, [[Stroud, Gloucestershire]], [[England]]. The sixth form block underwent extensive building work to accommodate the ever-rising number of students and includes a new Lecture Theatre with state-of-the-art audio visual system.

== History ==
In 1996, [[Marling School]] and its sister school [[Stroud High School]], embarked on a process of collaboration at Sixth Form level, thereby enriching the curriculum and options available to students from both schools. From 2000-20107 the sixth form operated under the name '''Downfield Sixth Form''' before control of sixth form provision was regained by both schools.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Falconer |first1=Ben |title='Acrimony' and 'angst' between two grammar schools over sixth form split - but now it feels like an 'amicable divorce' |url=https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/acrimony-angst-between-two-grammar-1239110 |accessdate=25 August 2020 |work=(contracted; show full)* [https://web.archive.org/web/20080329114326/http://www.school-portal.co.uk/GroupHomepage.asp?GroupID=21455 Official site]
