Penistone Grammar School

Penistone Grammar School Post-16 Centre is thriving. With our A Level provision now ranked as one of the top nationally, there has never been a better time to join us and begin your journey towards securing a successful and fulfilling future.

We have record numbers of students applying to study with us, selecting subjects from a wide range of A Level qualifications in areas including the Arts, Computing, English, Mathematics, Humanities, Languages, Science, Sport, Social Sciences, and Technology.

We ensure all our students have the opportunity to excel. Through carefully crafted packages of study we are able to secure results that are outstanding. On average, our students vastly out-perform their peers nationally, achieving grades that far exceed that which their expected progress would indicate (A Level Value Added). The proportion of students who achieve the top grades is equally as impressive, with the majority of all grades secured being A* to B.

We make your future success our priority and pride ourselves on the proportion of our students who are able to secure their first choice university place (on average, 95%). This includes those students progressing on to Russell Group universities and universities which are in the top third nationally (over four-times the average nationally).

Our personalised approach to learning and support ensures that even if you are a student who is applying to join us from another school, you will settle quickly into a fulfilling Post-16 experience.

We will give you access to excellent facilities, teaching of the highest quality and a support structure which will ensure a successful future is inevitable. Above all, we will encourage you to get the most from your Post-16 experience and ensure it is one that you will remember for the rest of your life.

The Post 16 team take a holistic approach to the development and care of students at Penistone. In addition to academic needs, we do everything that we can to provide support and advice on a whole range of issues to ensure the confidence and wellbeing of our students.

Students will have a personal tutor throughout their time in the Post 16 Centre. A students’ relationship with their tutor is very important, as not only will the tutor offer pastoral guidance but also monitor academic targets and oversee attainment and achievement. Students will have regular progress reviews with their personal tutor.

Mr L Modiri (Assistant Head of Post 16) oversees students through every step of the UCAS process to ensure successful outcomes.
