At James Calvert Spence College, we are passionate about supporting students to be their best; to overcome the challenges and grab the opportunities that post-16 education presents.

Read the prospectus, visit the school, speak to the teachers and current sixth form students and see for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you into our Sixth Form.

We support the transition into Year 12 by encouraging personal and aspirational option choices for all students. Throughout Sixth Form, students will be equipped with the skills and experiences that will prepare the young people who study with us for the next stage in their lives. This might be higher education, further education, training or employment. You’ll find a wide range of Level 2 and Level 3 courses included in our prospectus, carefully collated to meet the varied needs and preferred career pathways of our learners.

A team of dedicated and highly qualified staff deliver these courses and our Sixth Form students also receive dedicated pastoral care and support, too.

Sixth Form tutors work together to guide students through the many important stages including applications and exam revision. 89% of our leavers go on to further education or training, which places us 4th in the county for leavers’ destinations for the most recent statistics collected (2020).

The Sixth Form at James Calvert Spence College provides a friendly, familiar atmosphere. Individual pastoral tutoring and support helps students progress and plan for success. Our most recent full OFSTED report (2018) recognised our work to promote personal development, behaviour and welfare as effective.

We encourage students to take part in lots of extra-curricular activity options, including voluntary work in the community. Students learn leadership through sport, supporting staff as Subject Ambassadors or serving their peers as Form Representatives.

Read the prospectus, visit the school, speak to the teachers and current Sixth form students, and see for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you into James Calvert Spence Sixth Form in September 2022.

Head of Sixth Form
