Yavneh College

Our Sixth Form plays a central role in the everyday life of Yavneh College. Sixth Form students embody the school's strong ethos ‘Olam Chesed Yibaneh’ meaning ‘A World Built on Kindness’ - you will see our Sixth Form building a world of kindness; volunteering in classrooms, mentoring younger students, running subject clubs, working with the informal Jewish Education Department, in the Primary School, running the KAVOD (respect) committee and leading the Junior Leadership Team. You will see our Senior Prefects and prefects visibly role modelling in the library, in the dining room and in prayers.I believe that Sixth Form is the time for students to be given the opportunities develop into mature, well-educated adults, equipped to cope with higher education and employment and to reach their long-term goals. Success in the Sixth Form is integral to taking the key transitional steps towards life beyond school, whether that be university, apprenticeships or employment. Students are supported to become happy, resilient young people who embrace life's challenges and opportunities and who are excited to take their next steps on their journey to adulthood.The Sixth Form at Yavneh College is committed to providing opportunities for every student to achieve their potential beyond the curriculum they study in lessons. Whether this is setting up a new society, mentoring younger students, organising a charity event or producing something as spectacular as a Film Festival, Yavneh students are encouraged to step up and allow their ideas to become a reality.I am in no doubt that recognising the individual needs of each student is of paramount importance in helping to ensure that every student achieves their potential. Our students achieve excellent academic results giving them access to the best universities and apprenticeship opportunities. We offer a wide and varied curriculum delivered by expert teachers. At Yavneh, we offer traditional A-Level pathways, alongside vocational pathways, which offer an alternative route to university, apprenticeship or employment for students whose learning style is better suited to coursework-based assessments.I feel very privileged to be a part of such a successful Sixth Form and to have the opportunity to support students during such a crucial period in their lives. Witnessing students blossom into confident, caring, articulate and intellectually curious adults inspires me and reminds me of the transformational properties of Sixth Form life.Mr Pieters Assistant Headteacher, Head of Sixth Form
