Students at Oxford Sixth Form College are today celebrating successes across a broad range of A-level subjects.
The College continues to offer A-Level retake courses but the student body is increasingly one of students choosing to study a full-time A-Level or BTEC Business programme for one or two years. A key reason for this is the maximum A-Level class size of 6 students.
We firmly believe in providing all students with the opportunity to succeed and thus maintain a broadly selective admissions policy. Instead of a rigid requirement for a certain number of GCSEs at top grades, the we look at each individual student’s needs and, working with the student and parents, map out the correct programme and subjects for the student.
Our A-level results this summer illustrate how this approach works with, for example, students achieving 46% grade A*/A for mathematics; 80% A*/B for chemistry; 70% A*/B for art and design; 40% A*/A for psychology and 71% A*/B for English literature.
The College meets the needs of different students whether they are focused upon mathematics and the sciences, English and the humanities, business or the visual arts.
This autumn the our students will be progressing to universities including UCL, Bristol, York, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton to study subjects including Medicine, Engineering, Economics, Management, Sociology, Psychology as well as Architecture and Art foundation courses.
Mark Love, Principal, commented ‘At Oxford Sixth Form College we are focused upon regarding each student as having individual academic or vocational abilities and goals. It is incumbent upon us to enable each student to study a programme that, together with excellent pastoral support, enables these students to achieve their goals. Our results and the university destinations of our students this year show that we do so and we will continue to be broadly selective and our students will continue to be very successful.’
A huge congratulations to all our students!
