Hagley Catholic Sixth Form has offered students an excellent Post 16 package for many years. Last year, over 40% of our Year 13 students took up places to read a degree at Russell Group Universities and in 2019 47.5% of our A-level students achieved grades AAB or higher in at least two facilitating subjects. To complement their academic success, they offer a wide range of enrichment opportunities to all students as well as an incredibly supportive pastoral system. In addition to this, they are excited to announce a new Sixth Form block, equipped to the highest standards which is due to open in September 2021.
Below is a link to a recording of their Q&A session for Sixth Form applicants that they ran just before half term.
World Skills UK Spotlight Talks are Back! Join them on Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th March 2021 for more inspirational talks from leading employers, professionals and role models.
