[edit] Sixth Form
The Sixth Form is currently made up of 70 students, spread across two year groups. A friendly, communal atmosphere is present. Although the Sixth Form block, which contains a Study Room and a Common Room,is based away from the central school building, all lessons take place in the main school buildings. The Sixth Form is part of the 16 to 19 Welwyn & Hatfield Consortium and as such offers a wide range of A-Level subjects. Within the school A-Levels in Mathematics, English, History, Business, ICT, Human Biology, Psychology, RE and Sport are offered. Monitored broadband access is available, along with limited kitchen facilities, disabled access and toilets, but no clock. All Sixth Formers have the opportunity to take the Community Sports Leaders Award.

A school in special measures will have serious weaknesses, often providing its students with a poor standard of education. Onslow St Audrey's was in special measures from June 2001; however in May 2004 Ofsted inspectors decided to bring the school out of this status because they believed it had improved drastically. Teachers and students alike were elated with the achievement and it has acted as a spring-board to continued success. During 2007 Onslow St Audrey's Was Featured On Popular Morning-Breakfast Show GMTV For Outstanding Achievement, Coming Out Of Special Measures and Most Improved School In The South East.
[edit] The Great Fire Of Onslow
During the Spring of 2004 the school suffered a fire, caused by a fault in the boiler system. Emergency services attended and all students and staff, after momentarily being entertained by men in uniform, were evacuated to nearby Bishop's Hatfield Girls' School. Heating was lost throughout the school building and subsequently the school was closed for a number of days whilst repairs took place.
