Oldham Sixth Form
College
OSFC is an award-winning, nationally recognised college for
2,350 students in Oldham and beyond. Our broad curriculum enables us to offer
more than 60 A Levels, vocational diplomas and T Levels. We are proud of our
strong reputation for providing excellent academic and vocational education to
a diverse range of students.
We have high aspirations for all our
staff and students. Ofsted recently described our college as “outstanding” in
leadership and management, student behaviour and attitudes, and student
personal development. They also praised our college for its “calm, focused
environment” and the “positive, mature attitude to learning” of our students.
Inspectors said our “students feel comfortable and enjoy sharing their
knowledge and working with their peers”.
Our high-quality education programme
provides the very best life chances for young people in our community. Our
students achieve results in the top 15% nationally for A Levels and the top 30%
nationally for vocational qualifications. Most progress to higher level study
at university, with a smaller number progressing to apprenticeship programmes.
Just over half of our students take A
Levels; just over a quarter study vocational programmes at Level 3 and around
340 choose a blend of Level 3 vocational and A Level programmes. Under 100
students study GCSE and vocational programmes at Level 2.
We offer our students exceptional
pastoral care, extensive enrichment activities and support from a team of
Progress Tutors. In 2020, we were delighted to be recognised by Educate North’s
Community Engagement Award for our Essential Life Skills programme.
In our latest Ofsted report, inspectors praised the “high
quality education” we provide and noted how our staff teach students critical
thinking skills, encouraging them to ask questions and make judgments they can
support with evidence.
We have been at the forefront of using technology within
teaching and learning, supporting our own staff and other schools/colleges
through an effective suite of CPD opportunities and training. In 2022, the college was awarded Google
Reference College status, the first sixth form college in the North of England
to be recognised with the prestigious status, and one of only three sixth form
colleges in the UK. ‘Google Reference status’ is awarded for the outstanding
use of technology to drive positive learning outcomes and recognises the
College’s use of G Suite for Education in innovative ways. In addition, all
students are issued with a Chromebook at the start of the year which
contributes significantly to preparing students for their next steps in
education or employment.
We are very proud of the fact that OSFC is the only sixth
form college nationally to be awarded Research School status (EEF’s Research
Schools Network). We are also the
Delivery Lead for NPQs on behalf of East Manchester Teaching School Hub, a
Science Learning Partnership Hub and a winner of a Curriculum Innovation Award
for our work in delivering digital education.
The
Pinnacle Learning Trust
OSFC was a founding partner in the Pinnacle Learning Trust.
We celebrate students’ uniqueness and support our young people to flourish and
become responsible, successful citizens who contribute positively to their
communities. Our Trust invests in each member of staff, offering them
professional development opportunities, including designation as Evidence Leads
in Education for the Research School; delivery of school-to-school support; CPD
facilitation and support for trainee teachers. Staff have access to
opportunities to develop their teaching practice, such as training on
metacognition, virtual classroom coaching and retrieval practice. As a Trust,
we celebrate diversity by encouraging an understanding of our communities,
faiths and cultures.
