At Helston Community College Post 16 we strive to
deliver high quality education and training to all our
students irrespective of ability and background, so
that all students maximise their potential and realise
their goals. The aim of a Post 16 education is to prepare
and provide the necessary qualifications so that students
can successfully progress on to the next stage of their
career, whether in Higher Education, further training
or employment. The college aspires to provide new
opportunities to broaden minds, inspire so that
students can develop as leaders and valued members
of the community.
The Post 16 team is ambitious for all of
its students and expectations are high;
students are given aspirational targets
where the best is expected. At the same
time, each student is viewed as unique and
is provided with personalised opportunities
within a supportive environment to ensure
success. The Post 16 staff are specialists in
16-19 teaching; tutors, supported by the
Post 16 management team, are experienced
coaches and dedicated mentors who are
responsible for the progress of each student
as well as guiding them towards the next
steps. At the same time, the college
promotes a sense of community and is
a vibrant atmosphere where students are
encouraged to engage with opportunities
outside of their academic studies through a
comprehensive enrichment and leadership
programme.

The college has seen some excellent results
over the last few years; Students consistently
perform above national average and the
‘A’ pass rate in 2012 was 100%. In October
2010, the college was judged ‘Outstanding’
in all measures for Post 16. Inspectors said
that ‘the outstanding sixth form has a very
purposeful ethos and students thoroughly
enjoy their studies, making excellent
progress to achieve their potential.’
Over the next 2 years we aim to provide an
exciting and challenging experience which
will develop you both as a learner and a
young adult, but most importantly will
prepare you for the next step in your career.
This prospectus has been designed to give
you an insight into the various courses we
offer ranging from ‘A’ levels to Diplomas
and Vocational qualifications.
