Dear Students,

A very warm welcome to Croydon College - whether you are studying at our Croydon or Coulsdon Sixth Form campus, I am delighted you have chosen to study with us, and sincerely hope that your time here is successful and enjoyable.

At Croydon College we concentrate on Careers not Courses. As a college student we will support your progress towards your chosen career providing a programme of study that prepares you for your next steps into a higher level of study, apprenticeships or skilled employment. We will work with you to progress your career goals and aspirations with the best possible support, advice and guidance, in your lessons and though our specialist support staff.

Using this Get College Ready resource will support you to get ahead even before the first term starts. It provides answers to questions you might not have thought to ask, like what the main difference is between school and College, what extra activities you can get involved in, or how you can access work experience opportunities.

I would like to take this chance to wish you a fantastic summer. We very much looking forward to you joining our welcoming college community in September.

Caireen Mitchell 

Principal & CEO
