The Post 16 Centre is located on the main school site, just a short distance from Hemsworth Town Centre and major bus routes. It is a modern and supportive learning environment for young people and boasts excellent physical resources. The Centre is self-contained, providing a bespoke Post 16 Achievement Centre. In addition, the Post 16 Centre also provides students with excellent social facilities consisting of a comfortable common room with vending facilities and a fast food outlet serving a healthy range of foods.
This is an exciting time for you and we know that the choice you make regarding your education after GCSEs is vitally important. Whether you are joining us from our own Year 11, or coming to us from another school, we promise you an exciting and rewarding post 16 experience.
We are committed to delivering high quality teaching which provides challenges and opportunities for individual learning; indeed, the student is at the centre of all we do. Students have the opportunity to be creative, innovative and enterprising whilst benefiting from strong support and guidance. We aim to provide our students with support and motivation to raise their aspirations, succeed in learning and position themselves for a better future.
We continue to provide high quality pastoral care from a dedicated team of Guidance Leaders who work closely with students, teachers and parents to ensure that each individual achieves their potential and is well prepared for their next step. This is also supported by a rich Guidance Programme that further supports our students to develop the skills they need for further study or employment.
Knowing our students well is important to us, and as a result, are able to provide advice and guidance that is tailored to their individual needs and aspirations, offering them the best chance of success.
