I have been so grateful for the support I have received at College so
far. There is so much support on offer to all students, covering all
aspects of College, and I am so glad to have had the courage to seek
out and take advantage of everything that is available.
I have been particularly grateful to the Student Services team. The staff in this
department are so determined, enthusiastic and hard-working and
nothing ever seems to be a problem to them, no matter what time
of day, or how many times a day you go to see them! I’m not a very
confident person so the support received has been a great help. The work experience advisers have helped me gain a work experience placement with my local MP at the Guildhall and the careers advisers have given me great advice and information regarding my UCAS application.
Provider Access
The Baker Clause is an amendment to the Technical and Further Education Act, which requires schools to proactively provide access to their students to alternative providers of technical and post 14, 16 and 18 education.
It requires that all schools ensures that all students have access to hear what the following providers offer:
- At 14: studio schools, university technical colleges, further education colleges, in relation to any opportunities for 14 year old enrolment;
- At 16: apprenticeship providers, further education colleges, sixth form colleges, work-based training providers;
- At 18: apprenticeship providers, higher education providers.
Worcester Sixth Form College fully adheres to all aspects of the Baker Clause.
