EDUCATION
Excel with Worcester Sixth Form College Worcester Sixth Form College was the highest performing sixth form college, and one of the top institutions nationally for achievement rates in the most recent externally validated results. This shows that our students are well-supported, complete their courses and are successful. We offer the widest range of A Levels in Worcestershire and a range of Applied courses. We believe that students do best when they are able to choose the subjects that suit their skills and interests rather than having to study something that isn’t their first choice. Additionally, all our students are able to benefit from enrichment opportunities that will develop their confidence and skills as well as boosting their motivation to succeed. Our Sports and Performing Arts Academies are two examples. Our students and their parents have continued to respond extremely positively about our support for remote learning and student wellbeing.
