The Oxford Sixth Form College Experience
The college offers an environment quite different from that of a traditional school. The teaching approach is refreshingly interactive and informal. The emphasis on small group work enables a clear focus on individual needs and learning styles and a variety of pace and emphasis, which helps students to approach their work calmly and objectively. This ‘tutorial method’ is an extremely flexible teaching approach, which provides a dialogue between tutor and students and thus enables reinforcement of understanding and careful attention to areas of weakness.
The support provided by both subject tutors and each student’s Senior Tutor is thoughtful and creative and students are encouraged at every stage to take an active part in the learning process through self-motivation, involvement, personal study and research. This is important preparation for higher education. Various extra-curricular activities are offered to enable students to explore
and develop the skills they will need in later life.
“I have found the quality of the teaching to be great and the enthusiasm teachers have for the subject inspiring.”
– Lisha, A-Level Student
