Welcome Message
Aston Academy Post 16 is a lively, thriving and diverse community of learners. Our aim, in keeping with Aston Community Education Trust’s mission statement, is that every student is enabled “to reach their full potential, whatever their age, ability, gender or ethnicity”. As such, we provide a broad and varied curriculum which caters for a wide range of learning needs.
Becoming a Post 16 student at Aston, however, is about more than just achieving academic qualifications. While this is of the highest priority, we want our students to develop all of the skills and the confidence they will need to move on successfully to their next stage; whether that be higher education, training or employment.
If you decide to study with us you will receive high quality care, guidance and support in order to ensure that you fulfil your potential, enjoy your time with us and are suitably prepared for your next step. You will be allocated a tutor who will support you with any problems or concerns you may have and who will review your progress with you on a regular basis, and provide you with additional one to one support.
Our aim is to provide you with the pathway, high quality teaching, extra-curricular experiences and support you will need in order to achieve your ambitions.
If you have any questions about our Post 16 provision, please get in touch via post16@astonacademy.org
