YOUR SIXTH FORM COLLEGE

YOUR

sixth form college

New College is an academic sixth form which is different from both a school sixth form and a general further education college.

Our students are aged 16-19, studying either A Levels, Applied General subjects or a mixture of both. New College is a stepping stone to university and your experience with us will feel very different from Year 11.

Firstly, students don’t have to wear uniforms and there are no lesson bells but, more importantly, we work hard to develop an adult relationship with our students. We balance our expectation that you will want to work hard and make good progress, whilst trusting you to use your time and the college facilities as a young adult and an independent student.

Throughout your time with us, we will constantly check your wellbeing and will always be available whenever you need to speak to us about your concerns.
