Welcome to Aquinas College

I hope you find our website helpful. Whether you are approaching 16 and thinking about your sixth form education or 66 and looking for a course in our adult centre, I hope we can provide you with the next step. As a college we are committed to caring for each individual student. If you are prepared to work hard you will find Aquinas a supportive and challenging environment. We have the highest expectations of all our students. We set rigorous standards of work and achievement and believe that each student deserves the very best possible support to reach her or his full potential. Our most recent Ofsted inspection report said, “A very welcoming and positive atmosphere reflects a culture of equality, tolerance, respect, support and success”. If you would like to share in this atmosphere, or wish to find out more about Aquinas College, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to help. Jo Dommett Principal

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
We have an extensive enrichment programme that helps you to gain knowledge and develop new skills beyond the classroom. All activities take place throughout the week, both during and after college, enabling you to choose what activities you would like to do and when you would like to do them. We encourage you to choose activities that align with your academic studies and/or career goals so that you can recognise your full potential outside the classroom and develop in a variety of settings. We believe that taking part in an extracurricular helps you to stand out from the crowd, helps you to build confidence and self awareness that will support any application for University, Job or Apprenticeship.
