SHOOTERS HILL SIXTH FORM COLLEGE

WELCOME TO SHOOTERS HILL SIXTH FORM COLLEGE! I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to Shooters Hill Sixth Form College. We are a college where young people of all abilities can develop confidence in themselves, aspire and achieve. I really do believe in inclusivity for all and that everyone has an opportunity of success given the right support and environment.

Our college is committed to ensuring our young people are prepared for the rapidly changing global workplace and are encouraged to flourish as creative, independent and confident individuals.

Our core values are fundamental. We lead with compassion, empathy and understanding. We work collaboratively, we value fairness and we conduct ourselves with honestly, integrity and respect.

High-quality teaching to transform the lives of our students is at the heart of what we do and our fully inclusive college ensures we can find something to suit everyone. Our staff will support you all the way to achieve your full potential in a friendly, nurturing and warm environment.

We received our Ofsted ‘Good’ rating in October 2019, however we are striving to be exceptional and I am proud of the work staff are undertaking to help the college achieve this.

I would very much like to invite you along to see our community in action at any of our Open Days during the year and I look forward to seeing you there!

Geoff Osborne Principal

“This is a welcoming and inclusive college where students, especially those who need a bit of extra help to achieve, enjoy studying and feel safe.

From the moment students meet security staff at the front gates to their interaction with staff at all levels, they know they are part of a college that supports them.”

Whilst subjects are mostly exam-based, some A-Level options, such as Art or Science, require you to complete coursework or controlled assessments during the year which will count towards your final grade.

WHERE CAN A-LEVELS TAKE ME? A-Levels can take you to higher education (university), into high-level apprenticeships or even directly into employment depending on your career goals.
