Welcome to Holy Cross College

Leaving school for Holy Cross is the first step to a new future. This is a new and exciting time as you prepare to make the transition from school to sixth form college.

Holy Cross has a long tradition of success. Since 1878, when the Daughters of the Cross of Liège first settled a school on this site, we have been offering excellence in education to people in the local area and beyond, and with a clear mission in mind: to develop our students intellectually to achieve outstanding results, and to develop them spiritually and morally so that they can become valued and valuable citizens in an ever-changing world. Being an inclusive Catholic sixth form college which welcomes students and staff of all faiths and those of none, this mission is at the heart of all we do.

Students are the life of Holy Cross College. We care for each and every individual who passes through our hands and we hold the highest aspirations for them all. We believe that every student has unique talents to bring to our college community: talents to be nurtured and encouraged during their time with us. We have an incredibly dedicated, caring and expert staff who are highly experienced in preparing students
