Sixth Form Colleges Get Better Grades

Students at sixth-form colleges are significantly more likely to achieve top grades at A Level than those who stay on at their schools, research suggests. Teenagers at sixth-form colleges were 7 percent more likely to be awarded A* or A. They were also more likely to pass at A Level.

The academic who led the study said that sixth-form colleges were bigger and offered specialist teaching, a wider choice of A Level subjects and a campus-style environment. 

After receiving our students' A Level results this week and learning that our results are the highest on record, we could not agree more.
