GCSEs are such an important springboard to your Sixth Form academic choices and the range of subjects and pathways at St Joseph’s College allow you to make the best choices for you and your 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 28 August.
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 at St Jo’s work with you from day one to ensure that 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, Mr David Kemsley who has twenty-five years’ experience in recruitment. He is based in the Sixth Form Centre and is solely focused on working with students on developing 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 and through our dynamic Birkfield Speaker Programme, ensure 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.
Join us to help you make the most of your Sixth Form journey and your future!
