  • Background Information for Applicants • Application Form • Job Description and Person Specification • Prospectus
    Backgroundfor Applicants Information Thank you for your interest in BSix Sixth Form College Aspire Study Achieve www.bsix.ac.uk 0800 3892 947 BSix Brooke House Sixth Form College, Kenninghall Road, London E5 8BP College in Context In 2012/13 the College’s overall success rate has continued to rise, from 82% to 84%. In 2006 it was just 59% and there has been sustained year-on-year improvement since then. Such a trend has been accompanied by a transformation of the College’s reputation in local communi- ties and in the education sector. In March 2013 Ofsted undertook a full inspection of BSix, acknowledging the significant improvements made since their last visit in 2009 and concluding that its overall effectiveness is ‘Good’. These successes serve to highlight and isolate the remaining shortcomings in the College’s performance. The most critical strategic challenge is to raise achievement rates, especially at advanced level, while sustaining the year-on-year improvement in retention. Within this general challenge, there are several detailed areas for improvement: pass rates and high grades (A*-B) at AS and A2; inconsistent achieve- ment of high grades (Merits/Distinctions*) on applied courses; A*-C grades in some GCSE subjects; value-added at advanced level; and the elimination of underperformance in a minority of A Level subjects. BSix faces these challenges in a complex and rapidly-changing context. The College is located in the London Borough of Hackney, the second most deprived borough in the country and the fourth most diverse in London with over 100 languages being spoken.
