Principal's Welcome
Newcastle Sixth Form College, dedicated to student success and personal development.
We focus on helping students achieve their academic and career goals through personalised support, enriching activities, and strong partnerships with universities and employers.
Welcome to Newcastle Sixth Form College.
It is a real privilege to welcome you to Newcastle Sixth Form College.
As the largest A Level sixth form college in the region, we are an ambitious and inclusive academic community, bringing together students who are ready to learn, challenge themselves and take the next step towards their future.
At Newcastle Sixth Form College, we have high expectations of every student. We believe that every student can achieve highly through excellent teaching, hard work, curiosity and the right support. Our students can expect expert subject teaching, high-quality guidance and a college community that is committed to helping them achieve their very best.
We are proud of the aspirational culture we have created at Newcastle Sixth Form College. We want every student to make progress, develop their confidence and achieve more than they may have thought possible. Our role is not simply to support students to meet their potential, but to add value to their experience: to help them grow academically, personally and socially, and to leave us with greater knowledge, confidence and ambition than when they arrived.
We provide welcoming, well-equipped spaces that support learning, collaboration and independent study. Our classrooms and specialist facilities are designed to help students make the most of their subjects, while our wider college environment gives them the opportunity to grow in confidence, develop their interests and prepare for their next steps.
Academic achievement is at the heart of what we do, but our ambition for students goes beyond examination results. From the moment students join us, we encourage them to think about where their studies can take them. Through our careers programme, enrichment opportunities, links with universities and employers, and wider personal development offer, we prepare students to progress confidently to university, higher apprenticeships or employment.
Just as importantly, we want Newcastle Sixth Form College to be somewhere every student feels they belong. Our values and ethos are central to college life, helping us create a respectful, supportive and inclusive community. We expect students to show commitment, take responsibility and contribute positively, while ensuring they have the encouragement and support they need to thrive.
Choosing where to study your A Levels is an important decision. If you are ambitious for your future, excited by the opportunity to learn and ready to commit to your studies, we would love you to join the Newcastle Sixth Form College community.
I look forward to welcoming you to one of our Open Events and, hopefully, to our college community.
James Edge
