St Joseph's College is a place where students can flourish, says Katherine Simpson-Jacobs, head of sixth form.
GCSEs are such an important springboard to sixth form academic choices, and the range of subjects and pathways at St Joseph’s College allows students to make the best choices for themselves and their future.
We offer an exciting array of A-level, BTEC, CTEC and professional qualifications, such as our new Leiths CTH Level 3 Extended Certificate in Professional Cookery, to cater for our students’ broad spectrum of interests.
The level of expertise in our teaching staff provides dedicated and specialist learning opportunities to enable every student to achieve their best.
The pathway you choose can be formed of pure A-levels or a combination of A-levels and BTEC/CTECs, or you can opt for the BTEC/CTEC or professional qualification route.
These decisions will be reliant upon your GCSE grades and your academic goals, which we will discuss with you in detail at our Enrolment Day on Wednesday, August 28.
Choosing the right pathway is vital in creating the correct opportunities for you to flourish now and in the future.
Our highly experienced and dedicated sixth form team work with you from day one to ensure you are developing your academic and personal skillset in ways that will create a superb experience, and with the clear aim of directing you towards your academic, career and personal aspirations beyond the college.
A core influencer in your journey is our futures advisor, David Kemsley, who has 25 years of experience in recruitment.
He is based in the Sixth Form Centre and is solely focused on working with students to develop their future aspirations. This includes applications for university admissions tests, UCAS, work experience, CV building, interview practice, apprenticeships and work.
Along with your head of year and head of sixth form, the team ensures that you have the best advice and guidance to support you throughout your journey at the college and beyond.
This year, we have seen record numbers of our students achieve places at top universities and highly sought after apprenticeships at leading institutions and companies such as The Bank of England, Unilever and CBRE.
We leverage our expansive networks to obtain relevant work experience for our students. Oour dynamic Birkfield Speaker Programme ensures that you are exposed to a broad range of career opportunities every week.
Listening to and asking questions of highly experienced and successful individuals from all the professional sectors provides a unique opportunity for you to explore and consider the widest range of career options.
We are very excited to begin working with our new cohort of lower sixth students from September, developing excellence, potential and brilliant careers.
