Every Sixth Form student matters and at Caludon Castle we have a strong management team who are determined to ensure that every student is valued, encouraged and supported to achieve their very best. The team has an excellent track record of ensuring success with both university and job applications.
All students have a dedicated tutor, whom they will meet with regularly in Year 12 as part of a small tutor group. Students also have regular individual meetings with their tutor to provide study support and discuss career choices and help with UCAS applications.
OfSTED: “Students’ good behaviour is a result of very good personal care, support and guidance”.
All students are welcome at Caludon and we have a range of courses to suit all students. We want our students to follow a route which brings them success and for this reason all courses in Year 12 and 13 have entry requirements. These requirements are based on our understanding of the demands of the courses and the qualities which students need to meet these demands successfully. Students following level 3 courses (i.e. A levels and BTEC National level 3 courses) need to have a minimum of 5 GCSEs, including English and Maths. However some courses have additional specific requirements or preferences, including students needing 5 GCSEs at grade B or better, or a grade B in a specific subject. We are always flexible in our approach and look at each application on its merits, with the aim of helping each individual student achieve the best possible grades.
We expect our students to demonstrate a positive commitment to learning and conduct, acting as role models for the school. Students sign the Caludon Commitment as a learning agreement.
All learning providers are required to take reasonable steps to cater for all learners. We have an Accessibility Plan under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act aimed at continually improving accessibility to the curriculum, physical environment and written information. We also have a Disability Equality Strategy under the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
