We're delighted to share with you some of our wonderful student successes, following A-Level results day yesterday, starting with Andrew!

Andrew joined us in September 2020 after he won the Oxford Sixth Form College Olympiad in Vietnam. He has been an outstanding student and a great advocate for the College during his time with us.

After studying Business, Economics and Maths we are delighted to see him come away with A*A*A* and a place at Bristol to study International Business Management.

Congratulations, Andrew!

Huge congratulations to all our students receiving their A-Level and BTEC results today!

We have seen students gaining entry to top Russell Group universities including Oxford, King's College London, Glasgow, Bristol, Queen Mary, Exeter, Newcastle and more!

We're immensely proud of all of you and we hope you got the results you were hoping for!

If things haven't quite worked out the way you wanted, give us a call or drop us a line - we're here to help in any way we can.

To support their studies on the Industrial Revolution, some of our A-Level History students went on a trip to the Black Country Living Museum in the West Midlands, a 26-acre, open-air representation of life in one of the first industrialised landscapes in Britain.

Congratulations to Emily who has firmed an offer from the University of the Arts London to study Foundation in Animation. She also has several others including an Unconditional offer to study Animation from Norwich University of the Arts. A fantastic achievement.

Emily joined us in September 2020 to study Art, History of Art and Textiles. She would recommend us for "the small class sizes, wide variety of subjects and friendly staff and students."

"This college helped me to build my confidence and discover new skills".

Our brand new Model United Nations group has got off to a great start this term, recently participating in a two-weekend virtual MUN conference, hosted by Oxford Global

Students from around the world met virtually to debate a range of issues, with a central theme of ‘State Building and Progressive Visions’:

🗣Water as the new oil: discussing the economic measures needed to combat the effects of increasing water scarcity in the 21st century.

🗣Preventing financial crises after COVID-19

🗣Indigenous communities around the world and the right to self-govern

🗣Youth politics

In addition to building on their debating and public speaking skills, our students heard a keynote speech by Jeffrey D. Sachs, Professor of Sustainable Development at Columbia University, and were also given the opportunity to attend Oxbridge admissions workshops, which included insight into the subjects available, as well as valuable application tips.

Our students enjoyed the conference and did extremely well in their debating – here’s to the next generation of UN delegates!

Do you know someone who is looking for a fresh start? Maybe they've started an A-Level or IB course and, after 18 months of disrupted learning, they're looking for a more comfortable pace.

BTEC Business is 89% coursework, with just a small exam element at the end of the year. It's perfect if you're looking for a more practical way of learning. Plus, with small classes and full support from a Senior Tutor, you can really thrive!

Get in touch and ask us about the 5-Term BTEC Business programme.

Did you know that we are currently 35th out of over 4,000 schools and colleges in England for progress at A-Level, or Value Added? That means that based on our 2019 results (the last that were counted in the tables) we sit in the Top 1%, with a score of 0.55 - Well above average.

The Value Added score is calculated by comparing the A-Level results of students at this school or college with the A-Level results of students in schools and colleges across England who started with similar results at the end of Key Stage 4 (GCSE).

A score above zero means students made more progress on average than students across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 4.

We're delighted to share an update on the university offers our students have received so far this year. They include top UK universities such as Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Edinburgh, King's College London, Manchester, Warwick, Bristol and many more!

"Nowadays, we live in a highly competitive world, crammed with many challenges and obstacles. In order to overcome all challenges in life such as entering a good uni or getting a high-paid job, people should gain high-quality education. Oxford Sixth Form College helped me in this because while studying at school I have gained both hard skills or in other words academic skills and soft skills. These 2 types of skills are the basis of a successful life. Thanks to Oxford Sixth Form college for this!"
