Greenhead College is one of the best Sixth Form Colleges in the country. We are proud of our reputation and value our ethos of placing students at the centre of everything we do. Our expectations of students are high but you’ll receive the very best in academic and pastoral support during your time as part of the Greenhead community. According to government measures of success at A Level, we are one of the top Sixth Form Colleges in the country. The most recent national education tables published in January 2020 include data showing the average A Level result achieved by students and high grades achieved in key academic subjects. Greenhead College is the best performing provider of A Levels in the local area according to these two latest measures and the third best designated Sixth Form in the country. At Greenhead, we aim to ensure all students complete their course successfully and develop into well-rounded and confident young people with a life-long passion for learning. We also help foster an interest in the wider world and the welfare of others. The College has a warm and purposeful atmosphere stemming from the excellent working relationships that exist between staff and students. You will be treated as an adult and valued as an individual, allowing you to fulfil your full potential. I hope you will come and see us at one of our Open Events, where you can talk to staff and students about your own particular needs and aspirations. We look forward to meeting you.
