Our Partnership with Hayesbrook
 
We have a comprehensive range of level 3 courses (AS/A2 courses) as well as the opportunity to re-sit English and Maths GCSE in our Sixth Form. Our partnership with The Hayesbrook School has meant that we are able to broaden both our level 2 (GCSE) and level 3 (A level) curriculum offer. We understand the need for an inclusive Sixth Form and that not all students want to study A levels. We do not stand still as a Sixth Form and constantly respond to our students and their needs. This has been the driving force behind our partnership with The Hayesbrook School for Boys.

Our Successes
We are a successful academic Sixth Form.  Last year all students wishing to go to university achieved a place. This was supported by our fantastic A and B grades coupled with a 99% pass rate at A level. We are delighted that 65% of our students have continued into further/higher education proving our commitment at Hugh Christie Technology to develop life long learners.  35% of our students have entered the world of work full time or as a gap year taking with them the employability skills that we have helped them develop during their time with us. 
 

Our state of the art college is a spring board for other successes within the college that we value as highly as our academic successes.  Students are fully involved in the college community providing a peer mentoring service for all year 7 students.  They raise money for charity, organise sporting events and assist in departments.  They are encouraged to develop their enterprise skills and have organised visits to Alton Towers, West End theatres, organised their own Christmas party and the ever popular annual summer prom.

We are delighted each year to welcome international students into our Sixth Form. Over the years we have welcomed students from all over the glove, ranging from Germany, Czech Republic, Norway and even as far as Japan. It creates many cross cultural opportunities for both our guests and our own students who benefit tremendously from the experience.

Our Students

Ofsted reported that we had “outstanding student-teacher relationships” in 2006 and in 2009 we gained an ‘outstanding’ for our care and guidance in the Sixth Form.

This is an achievement of which we are extremely proud; it underpins our belief that every child matters.
