Welcome from our Head of Sixth Form
I am delighted to welcome you to the warm, welcoming and inclusive environment of St Joseph’s College Sixth Form. We provide an environment in which all of our students are encouraged to challenge themselves academically and experience the broad range of extra and super-curricular activities offered. Before entering the teaching profession, my first career was in publishing, where I worked in dynamic and highly competitive environments for a wide number of national publications, ranging from the Daily Mirror to Harper’s Bazaar. Having attained my PGCE in 2011, I again returned to studying and gained my Master’s degree in English Literature in 2015. In the 10 years I have been at St Joseph’s College, I have worked as an English and Digital Media teacher, Assistant Head of Upper School and Assistant Head of Sixth Form. I have been Head of Sixth Form for the past two years.
The range of academic pathways on offer at St Joseph’s ensures that every student is able to access the next stage of their academic career or apprenticeship with the appropriate qualifications. Our aim is always to facilitate the students’ next steps whilst ensuring that they engage fully with all of the opportunities available to them at the College. Our College motto, Fides, Labore et Tenacitate, (Faith, Hard Work and Tenacity,) creates the core of our ethos and guides our students to success in all areas throughout their time at St Joseph’s.
Mrs Katherine Simpson-Jacobs Head of Sixth Form
AS AND A-LEVELS
For many students, traditional A-level courses are the natural route to university. From the wide range of courses available, we ask students to choose four subjects at the beginning of Lower Sixth with a view to refining this to three subjects a in January. This approach allows students to experience a range of courses before making their final choices. All A-level students will be entered for the AS-level public examinations at the end of Lower Sixth. This is to ensure that students remain focused throughout the first year of study, the results from these examinations will help to inform progress and aid predictions for UCAS applications in the Christmas term of Upper Sixth.
VOCATIONAL COURSES
Universities widely accept vocational courses and a number of students prefer the focus of continuous coursework in conjunction with examinations to the linear assessment of A-level with its greater focus on final examination at the end of Upper Sixth. These targeted Level 3 vocational qualifications include BTEC Business Studies, BTEC Sport Coaching and Development, BTEC Engineering and CTEC Digital Media. These courses are equivalent to A-levels and are recognised by the majority of universities. Students will be allowed to mix A-level and vocational courses if they have requisite grades at GCSE.
HOMEWORK AND STUDY EXPECTATIONS
Students will be given homework and/or additional research tasks every lesson and they must utilise their timetabled study periods effectively. All students should complete a minimum of two hours additional study in each subject per day to be working at the required level for Sixth Form.
SAT
St Joseph’s College is a test centre for the SAT admissions test. Students can sit this test as part of their application to universities in the USA.
EXTENDED PROJECT QUALIFICATION
The EPQ is an exciting opportunity for students to practise their project management skills and to design, implement and write up a research project of their choosing.
The flexibility to tailor a project to the interests and aspirations of each student makes it a highly personalised piece of learning. The popularity of the qualification amongst universities is demonstrated by the reduced offers provided by many universities to those students completing them. This is one of the reasons why we encourage all students to take the EPQ.
MATHEMATICAL STUDIES
As an alternative to the EPQ, Mathematical Studies is also offered to those students who wish to extend their Mathematics beyond GCSE but without committing to the full A-level.
OTHER PATHWAYS
Some students joining Sixth Form wish to improve GCSE Mathematics and English Language grades and lessons are provided to support this. For some international students, we offer the opportunity to undertake a three year A-level programme with the opportunity to improve English language skills and secure strong IELTS scores alongside initial studies in their first year.
For students wishing to study BTEC courses, the expectation is that they would hold five GCSEs at grade 4 or above (the equivalent of the previous C grades). For students wishing to study A-level courses, we would expect that four of their GCSE grades would be at grade 6 or above for them to successfully complete their courses.
Our Sixth Form offers a rich diversity amongst our student body, with different academic routes being taken, a good mix of girls and boys, and an international feel, with overseas students being part of our strong boarding community. Our class sizes remain small, so students receive individual attention to support their progress.
Each student is known and cared for personally, with their progress tracked individually. We are able to offer an environment that has a safe, friendly, family feel with a real sense of community.
Whilst academic progress is of course central to our aims, we wholeheartedly embrace a more holistic approach to Sixth Form life and are keen to encourage opportunities for wider skills development, including leadership, team-working, communication and empathy for others. As students enter our Sixth Form, they have the opportunity to make a valuable contribution to College life and to the wider community. This helps to prepare them for the decisions and responsibilities they will face in the future. Students leave our Sixth Form as well-rounded young adults with an excellent perspective on both themselves and the world in which they will live and work.
Together with extra responsibility comes increased freedom; our Sixth Formers gain some experience of independence before they leave us. Arrangements in the Sixth Form are designed to mirror this: students have their own kitchen area (the Hub), a silent study area (the Reading Room), the outside space of the Quad and Serenity Garden and a common room (the Atrium), as well as full use of the central College Library.
Much attention is paid to helping students bridge the gap between the guided study of GCSEs and the self-discipline that is necessary to succeed at Sixth Form level. The friendly support and cooperation of tutors and subject teachers ensures that there is a smooth transition.
This booklet is designed to give you information on all the courses on offer. We would be delighted to welcome you to explore our Sixth Form for yourself on one of our Open Days or Snapshot Mornings.
Please note: Should there be insufficient demand, a course may not be delivered.
Head of Lower and Upper Sixth
After graduating from Brunel University, I worked in industry as a Website Developer for Deloitte UK in London. My desire to teach led me to apply for my PGCE in Computer Science in 2001 and I spent the next 15 years teaching at Northgate High School in Ipswich. In September 2017 I joined the College and it was one of my best decisions. Joining the College community led me to have many opportunities. I was promoted to Head of Technology within a few months and have enjoyed working with the students and staff. As a Sixth Form tutor for over a decade, with lots of experience, I was delighted to be appointed to my current position. The Sixth Form Centre is a welcoming and enjoyable place to be. It is an honour to work with so many incredible young people and to be part of their Sixth Form journey.
Mrs Frost
Head of Lower Sixth
Education has always been at the centre of my career; before entering the teaching profession, I lectured at Queen’s University and thoroughly enjoyed sharing my passion for History with undergraduate and postgraduate students alike.
But apart from my love of the subject, I felt that my skill set and passions lay in the holistic development of young people. With this in mind, I completed my PGCE in History at the University of Cambridge and I have never looked back! Having worked in the Sixth Form at my previous school, I was delighted to gain the opportunity to work in the vibrant and evergrowing Sixth Form at St Joseph’s College. The range of academic and extra-curricular opportunities on offer at our College ensures that every student has the chance to enrich their overall school experience. The community spirit at St Joseph’s College makes it a joy to work at and I look forward to being part of your exciting adventure with us here in the Sixth Form.
Head of Upper Sixth Dr RiceIntroducing our Futures Adviser
My role as Futures Adviser at St Joseph’s College is to prepare students for all their professional plans beyond school. I effectively add value to the service we can offer our students over and above their academic studies by helping to give them further enrichment opportunities and effective contact with the world of work.
A large number of our students will go to university and I assist in choosing courses and helping them with the application process. I am also very experienced at supporting people to choose the correct career paths for them beyond further education. I assist students in securing full or part time employment, as well as voluntary work, which is particularly helpful for those looking at apprenticeships as an extra option instead of, or alongside, university applications. Building on my own career experiences, I help students steer successfully through job selection processes, however straightforward or complex they may be.
Following my own graduation, I worked in industry for 25 years, running various human resources and recruitment businesses in the UK and abroad. My wife and I have two children, both of whom were lucky enough to study at St Jo’s. Our younger son left in 2020. Thanks to the College, both secured superb A-level results and both loved every moment of their eight years here. I myself have been at St Joseph’s for six years. I am a fully qualified careers adviser and love adding value and helping any student (and parent) looking for extra guidance.

Mathematics/ Further Mathematics A-level
A-level Maths: Edexcel (9MA0)
A-level Further Maths: Edexcel (9FM0)
Why choose this course?
Favoured by Russell Group universities, Mathematics complements many other A-level subjects and is vital in various careers. The course covers processing, interpreting and analysing information, and develops logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
COURSE CONTENT
You will have met at GCSE level many of the topics to be studied at A-level, but these will be extended and studied in greater depth. Exciting and powerful new techniques, such as calculus, are developed in Pure Mathematics and are applied to the real world through the study of Mechanics and Statistics. Further Mathematics, a separate A-level which may be taken additionally, follows a similar structure, with a broader range of topics. If you are considering taking Mathematics at A-level, you will be expected to gain a GCSE grade 7 or above in the GCSE Mathematics higher tier or equivalent. Students who obtain a grade 8 or 9 are encouraged to consider A-level Further Mathematics. Students wishing to study Further Mathematics will complete the A-Level Mathematics course in Lower Sixth and then the Further Mathematics course in Year Upper Sixth. As a result, this will comprise two option blocks.
COURSE ASSESSMENT
Three examination papers with a mix of question styles, from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems, will be taken at the end of Upper Sixth.
It is expected that students will plan considerable time to review lessons and complete homework. The Mathematics Faculty monitors the progress of each individual student by using a variety of assessed homework and end of topic reviews.

Mathematical Studies (Core Maths)
LEVEL 3 QUALIFICATION
Why choose this course?
Level 3 Mathematical Studies (Core Maths) is a relatively new qualification designed for students who do not have the time or feel confident enough to undertake A-level Mathematics, but enjoy the subject and are keen to continue their studies and gain a valuable qualification, which is recognised by employers and universities.
It helps to develop students’ mathematical skills and thinking and supports courses such as A-level Psychology, the Sciences, Business Studies and Geography as well as technical and vocational qualifications.
In addition to the UCAS points this qualification offers (equivalent to an AS), some universities make lower offers to students who are studying this course, in their other subjects.
It uses many of the number topics from GCSE, such as ratio and percentages, but applies them to real world issues currently in the news.
SOME TOPICS THAT WILL BE EXPLORED ARE:
• Understanding Income Tax and exploring changes being suggested by the Government
• The impact of a virus pandemic
• Interpreting and critically evaluating statistical data
• Financial issues such as mortgages, APR on loans or credit cards and pay slips
• Making sensible estimates in a wide range of real-world contexts
COURSE CONTENT
The course focuses on mathematics in a real-world context, there is no geometry (including trigonometry) content and very little algebraic content.
This qualification is not a substitute for careers or university courses that require A-level Mathematics, but it does give you a valuable post-16 mathematics-based qualification.
There are two examinations and a calculator may be used in both. There is no coursework, but a pre-release data sheet is provided three months before the examination on a current news topic which will form the basis of some of the questions in the examination.
• Delivered over four lessons per fortnight, making it manageable alongside A-level courses
• Studied in one year, so students can focus on their ‘main’ subjects in Upper Sixth
• Equivalent to an AS level and carries useful UCAS points accordingly
• Increasingly, universities may make a reduced offer on a student’s ‘main’ subjects, such as AAA being reduced to AAB, for example
