College VI has a student body of over 400 students. All courses are level 3 and students who have not
achieved GCSE grade 4 in English or Mathematics are required to re-sit these examinations. To study A
grade 7 at GCSE. To study BTEC Sport, students require five 9-5 grades.

students, the majority of our students are internal applicants. As we are part of Riddlesdown Collegiate, we
are able to provide consistency and continuity. However, we believe that it is important to ensure that the
students feel that they have made a transition and have a new experience. We aim to promote self

issues. In College VI, we provide them with the opportunity to experience the breadth and balance of an
enriching curriculum, sustain personal development through wider opportunities and prepare for lifelong
learning. We are a high performing Sixth Form and we believe that students should achieve better outcomes
with us than if they were at any other institution. Therefore, it is vital that teaching and learning in College
VI are of the very highest standard.

lessons are designed not only to provide advice and guidance on health and financial matters but also to
develop critical thinking and general knowledge. It is also during these lessons that Year 12 students are
thoroughly prepared for entry to university in the spring and summer terms. We also offer students the
Education and we have an above average acceptance rate into Russell Group institutions. Those not wishing
to continue with their education have access to a KS5 Careers Co-ordinator and a programme of Careers
advice and guidance. Students participate in a Careers / UCAS week in the summer term during which they
attend talks by visiting speakers from universities and professions.

We expect our students to show courtesy and consideration to each other as well as to staff and all members
of the Collegiate. We maintain a family ethos and as we believe
