Welcome to Our Lady and St Chad Catholic Academy
Head of Sixth Form welcomeOur Lady and St Chad Catholic Sixth Form College, students are working towards life after Our Lady and St Chad’s, whether this be at university, work, or further training. We believe that every student can excel on courses that are appropriate to them and this is reflected in our wide range of option choices. There are several pathways that students can take, ranging from A-levels and Vocational courses, or a combination of the two. The sixth form college is very successful with students achieving grades which allow them to study a range of courses at Universities including from Birmingham, Cambridge, Exeter, Wolverhampton, BCU, Nottingham and many more. Courses at the academy are very successful, with A level courses being rated ALPS grade 2 (top 10% nationally) and Vocational courses being at least ALPS grade 2 (top 10% nationally).Mr M Buzzing Head of Sixth Form
