WELCOME

welcomewelcome Welcome to New College Doncaster’s Prospectus for 2023. As the only sixth form college in Doncaster, we provide a unique young adult experience for our students. We are extremely proud that the quality of educational provision at New College Doncaster was recognised by Ofsted in 2021-22, rating the college ‘outstanding’ in every single category. Moving from school to a sixth form college allows young people to flourish both academically and personally. It is an opportunity to meet new people, make new friends, get involved in new things and enjoy many new subjects. We are small enough to ensure that we really get to know you and provide you with all the support you need. We are large enough to be able to offer a very wide range of A-Levels and Level 3 Applied General Qualifications, playing to your strengths, passions and future plans. Our results have gone from strength to strength since we opened in 2017. The last time A level performance tables were published by the government, New College Doncaster topped the table in the Doncaster region. Results in 2022, following the return of examinations, were superb, maintaining the very high grades

Principal - New College Doncaster awarded in 2021 by Teacher Assessed Grades, and bucking the national trend which saw results nationally falling back towards 2019 levels. Whether you study A levels or Level 3 Applied General qualifications at New College Doncaster, you can be confident that you will be joining a very strong academic, supportive and inclusive provider that achieves outstanding results for young people. As well as our focus on achieving excellent results, we are deeply committed to preparing our students for adult life, further study and employment, and to helping young people be happy, confident and safe. Our extensive enrichment programme helps students meet new people, gain new skills and learn more about the world around them. Our students are well supported in their readiness to move to the very best degrees, apprenticeships and jobs, with valuable engagement with universities, employers and work experience. Here at New College, the staff are truly committed to helping young people gain the qualifications and skills they need to progress to their chosen destination, as well as grow as an individual. My passion for working with young people continues to grow as I pull from my wide experience as a curriculum leader, classroom teacher and senior leader. I am incredibly proud to be part of the leadership team at college and I look forward to welcoming you to one of our open events.

This prospectus will give you a good introduction to the very wide range of courses that we offer. We would love to meet you in person at one of our open events taking place throughout the year. These are a great opportunity to meet our teachers face-to-face, to see our facilities, to get a feel for our culture, and to find out more about our courses.

I look forward to meeting you then.
