“I chose JLC because I wanted to enter a great university and I believe that the United Kingdom provides the best education.”Johnny Cheung, Hong KongUniversity of Cambridge, Economics


GREAT BRITISH EDUCATION

WHAT IS A SIXTH FORM COLLEGE?A Sixth Form College is a type of further education institution. The majority of students prepare for A-level examinations but some choose vocational qualifi cations, BTECs, Foundation and other courses. Students are usually aged between 16 and 19. John Leggott College was one of the fi rst Sixth Form Colleges established in the UK (in 1968).

CHOOSING YOUR UNIVERSITY ENTRY QUALIFICATIONSWhat are your academic achievements? How good are your English language skills? Do you have big ambitions? – The higher these are, the more likely it is that you will be aiming for top universities and therefore A-level qualifi cations are the best choice.

Most students choose 4 subjects to study at A-level. Any combination of subjects is possible at JLC.

WHY CHOOSE TO STUDY IN THE UK? Fabulous British culture and traditions

High quality education which is globally recognised and offers transferable qualifi cations

How important is it to get involved in extra-curricular activities?

Getting involved in extra-curricular activities is very important if you want to enter a top university after completing A-levels.

These activities are important for developing personal qualities such as leadership, team work, commitment, independence, social awareness, and presentation skills and help to boost a university personal statement.

They can also be good fun and relaxing.

What kind of extra-curricular activities would increase the chance of acceptance into top universities?

This depends upon the subjects you are studying at A-level, your potential university course, your likes and current skills and experience (and areas where these can be improved).

The careers team and mentors can advise but with more than 40 to choose from at JLC there is something for everyone!

Activities include:

“I would advise students to take advantage of all the fantastic opportunities at John Leggott College. I wouldn’t be doing what I do now if it wasn’t for them giving me the extra skills I needed.”Guo Xian Guang, Guangzhou, ChinaAnalyst, Zeal Asset Management Ltd (Hong Hong)
