Here at BCS Sixth Form, we open our doors to hard-working and ambitious students and help them on the next stage of their journey. Regardless of whether you wish to continue academic pursuits at university or secure an apprenticeship or employment, you will be supported by an experienced and caring team of staff during your time with us. Core to the programme offered is the wide range of subjects studied to A Level or alternative Level 3 qualifications, more detail of which forms the bulk of this booklet. Class sizes are usually much smaller than students have been used to, but the demand for work outside of lessons will certainly be higher! Students need to be determined and take their studies very seriously to succeed. Although we value more than just grades, we do pride ourselves on our exam outcomes. BCS Sixth Form results are regularly above national averages. In 2023 our average A Level grade of B- was supported by an impressive 100% pass rate across all qualifications. However, students are not only academically successful with us but enjoy developing a wide range of skills outside of the classroom that will stand them in good stead in their adult life, whatever they go on to do. Life at BCS Sixth Form is never boring; our students work hard but are also encouraged to have fun along the way. Having a good work/life balance is really important for all of us but especially when studying hard for crucial exams. That’s why at BCS Sixth Form, we place real emphasis on having fun in a friendly and caring community. We are incredibly proud of all of our students and it is always a privilege to witness them grow into successful young adults and we hope that you too will become a member of our ever-growing family. Jackie Cruse Head of Sixth Form I am very proud of our Sixth Form provision and what our students achieve, both inside and outside of the classroom.
