  • YOUR ASSOCIATION 2020 – 2021 “ for a Sixth Form College Or a 16-19 Academy, Being a Member of the SFCA Is a Bit of a No-Brainer Really
    THE VOICE OF SIXTH FORM EDUCATION YOUR ASSOCIATION 2020 – 2021 “ For a sixth form college or a 16-19 academy, being a member of the SFCA is a bit of a no-brainer really. The day-in day-out benefits are palpable, and can be seen working at three different levels. At a national level, the SFCA provides us with a voice that is listened to in the corridors of power, making sure that we are heard alongside the voices of schools and universities when key educational decisions are made. At a local level, the SFCA supports colleges deal with the complexities of co-operation and competition in what can sometimes be a very challenging educational landscape. And at a one-to-one level, the SFCA supports senior leaders with a whole range of issues (such as staffing, finance, and pedagogy) particular to their institutions. It is this ability to operate so effectively at these different levels – from the individual right up to the national, that makes the SFCA so special. And that’s the reason we are, and will always be, a proud member of the SFCA.” Richard Ronksley Principal, Rochdale Sixth Form College WELCOME The Sixth Form Colleges Association is the established voice of dedicated sixth form education and the hub of a national network of sixth form providers. Leading a sixth form provider presents a particular set of challenges and opportunities, this year more than ever. A national network of peers, who can call on each other for ideas, information and support, and who can offer insights, advice and solutions, is invaluable.
