St Nicholas Catholic Sixth Form
Part of our Mission Statement at St Nicholas Catholic Sixth Form is to put the future of our students at the forefront of everything we do – Your Future First.
St Nicholas Catholic Sixth Form is increasingly admitting students from schools across the Mid Cheshire areas who recognise the value of continuing their education within a well-structured school-based environment. All students receive personal and outstanding pastoral care, and we equally seek applications from both Catholics and Non-Catholics alike.
“If you ask me, the fundamental components for a young person to achieve their full potential is support, opportunities, and independence. As well as other transferrable skills you will acquire at our Sixth Form.”
Emily Zhou – Head Prefect, Year 13
Teachers at St Nicholas work tirelessly to ensure that students achieve the ambitions ready for the next stage in their lives. We are very proud of the university and careers guidance we offer our students and our progression rates of students who are successfully placed at Russell Group universities is consistently well above the national average.
In addition to this, we are well aware that achieving academic excellence is no longer enough to succeed in a competitive, modern day Britain. With this in mind we offer a varied programme of enrichment which allows all students to tailor their own bespoke programme. This is complemented by out Pastoral Curriculum, which broaden our students skill set, whilst offering bespoke support.
“Excellent careers education, information, advice and guidance ensure that progression from the sixth form to higher education, further education, employment or apprenticeships is a key strength of the school.”
– Ofsted
Within the sixth form we are continuously creating opportunities for our students to develop existing skills and acquire new ones which are sought after by university admissions tutors and employers. Our students have the opportunity to travel to remote places on the Sixth Form expeditions; Borneo, Botswana and the Greek Islands are some of the recent expeditions where students have been heavily involved with charity-based projects whilst in the country, in 2024 our students will be travelling to Cambodia and Vietnam.
Opportunities such as mentoring, running fundraising and sports events, developing leaderships skills through applying to become Senior Prefects, whilst at the same time contributing to the life of the whole school, ethos and values allows St Nicholas to prepare students for life, long after completion of their A Level exams.
“Following the support I received during my time at St Nicholas’ School, it was not a difficult decision to choose to continue my studies within this community. With a caring yet disciplined environment, available facilities and unique opportunities, the Sixth Form lives up to its glowing reputation as an excellent place to learn.”
George Bainbridge – Year 13 Head Prefect
We believe, unequivocally, that St Nicholas Sixth Form offers students the independence of a college but with the personal support and guidance of a Sixth Form.
We look forward to meeting you at our Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday, October 13 from 6pm-8pm.
