INTRODUCTION Outstanding Student Achievements and Progression – 2015/16 The Sixth Form College is very proud of the reputation it has established over the last twenty-nine years for very high academic standards and the outstanding achievements of students. College students have consistently achieved excellent public examination results at A Level and the College has also been delighted with the level of student achievements in the range of other qualification areas including AS Level, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, GCSE and a range of more specialist courses including Extended Project Qualifications, Principles of Coaching Sport Award, Financial Certificate and Diploma (Institute of Financial Studies), Royal School of Music Instrument Exams, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award Scheme and RADA exams and qualifications. The last published Government Performance Data, reporting achievements of 18 year olds (January 2016), showed that the average level of overall achievement of the students at the College in 2015 was 827 points – which was a package of overall student achievement well above the national average for all schools and colleges, including the Independent and Grammar School sectors. The Government Performance Data also indicated that 91% of students who completed A level courses at the College, passed 3 or more A levels – compared to an average of just 79% of students nationally across the entire spread of academies, schools and colleges. Achieving 3 A level passes is a minimum entry requirement of most university courses and for many employers recruiting post A level students to training schemes. The ‘top 100’ student achievers at the College have, in each of the last seventeen years, achieved a higher UCAS or DfE point score than the ‘top 100’ 16-18 year old student achievers in school sixth forms in the country, including those in the Independent and or Grammar School sectors. Results have been consistently above national averages and can be viewed as very strong both in ‘absolute’ terms and, also, perhaps more meaningfully, in ‘value added’ terms. Our second year ‘upper sixth’ students are also understood to have achieved the best A Level results of any college in Essex or Suffolk for the seventeenth consecutive year. Our twelfth cohort of students who completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma achieved extremely well and their pass rate, total points score and average subject scores were, once again, very well above the IB international averages, with the students averaging 33 points (International average 29 points) – significantly better results than the international average of all IB schools including the results achieved in many of the prestigious independent or selective schools that offer the IB. Levels of overall ‘in-year’ student ‘retention’ and ‘completion of their study programme’ at the College continue to be exceptionally high (96% in 2015/16 year) – well above the national average for 16-18 year olds in all schools, academies and colleges.

As a result of the excellent examination results, and with 91% of students achieving 3 or more A level passes, a very high proportion of students completing Advanced Level study programmes at the College have had the choice to progress into degree courses in Higher Education. In summer 2016, despite the high costs now involved in studying in HE, approximately 1000 students were successful and chose to progress on university degree courses in a very wide variety of fields, including significant numbers who commenced degree courses in the prestigious fields of Medicine and related, Sciences, Engineering, Computing, IT, Mathematics, Languages, English, Economics, Journalism, Fine Art, Social Sciences, Law, Music, Business, Management, Finance, History and Geography. Many of the students have commenced degree courses in autumn 2016 whilst others have ‘deferred’ and will start degrees in 2017. Other students have progressed to specialist Further Education courses in the fields of Art, Photography and Performing Arts and a good number of these students will also then progress to study degree courses. Seven of our students were offered places at Oxford or Cambridge and over 400 of the summer 2016 leavers have or will progress to degree courses at ‘Russell Group’ universities or other highly selective degree courses including at Law Schools or Medical Schools. A large number of students have chosen a ‘gap year’. In due course, you may wish to check the details from the programme for the Annual Reunion and Awards event for 2015/16 year, which will be held on 20 December 2016. The Programme provides more substantial detail regarding student progression and will also be posted on the College website. Copies of the 2015 year programme have been posted on the website for the last ten months and paper copies will also be available on the Open Evenings. Student achievements at AS Level in summer 2016 were also excellent with a ‘pass rate’ above the national average level and their package of results provided a very positive ‘value-added’ measure. The College was very pleased with the final AS results in Government ‘Reformed’ AS levels. This strong level of success achieved in lower sixth means that very many of last year’s first year students have now built a very good base for A Level success in 2017, as well as providing them with very good AS qualifications in their own right. At GCSE the pass rates at grades A* to C in 2016 were significantly above the national average figures. This is particularly creditable when it is considered that the majority of the entries are from students who have achieved lower grades in Year 11 at school than they would like and most entries are re-sits of key GCSE subjects. The GCSE English and Mathematics ‘resit (from year 11 at school’) results were very strong – and very significantly above the national averages for 16 to 18 year olds in schools, academies and colleges in England. The College was one of the first four colleges in the country to be awarded Beacon Status and was only the second Sixth Form College to be awarded a Queens Award for Higher and Further Education. The College’s last full Ofsted inspection was in the 2012/13 academic year and feedback was very good. Please refer to the College website (www.colchsfc.ac.uk) for the full Ofsted Report. Student achievements in a variety of other ways were also very impressive. In the fields of Sport, Music, Drama, Dance and Art, large numbers of College students have consistently demonstrated excellent standards. A number of students each year participate in active citizenship and voluntary service in the community, which includes a large group of students undertaking the pre-teaching programme, which involves support work on a regular basis in local schools, or the pre-clinical and Medics course, which provides good support and preparation for students hoping to apply for Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine, Physiotherapy, etc. A further group of students are involved in sports coaching experiences which include organising sports projects activity with local schools. Over 30 of our students successfully completed the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award Scheme, most through the College organised programme. Over 2,000 of our students are involved in sporting activities at the College, many on a very regular basis, with the excellent sports facilities supporting a huge range of opportunities.

Involvement in the College Council, the Ambassador programme, the Sports Leadership programme, placements in local schools and in our Active Citizenship programme offers students opportunities to develop leadership and employability skills. There is also a considerable level of student involvement in charitable work. A very high proportion of students undertake one or more residential experiences while at the College and the varied programme includes a major, generally bi-annual, Expedition to India, there are also regular Expeditions to South America (Paraguay in 2017, in the past Peru and Ecuador and Sri Lanka). Each year approximately 200 trips and visits are offered to College students. These experiences contribute much to student learning, personal development and development of wider skills, as well as making an outstanding contribution to the community. The time spent at the College in a supportive young adult environment provides students with wide-ranging opportunities and contributes to preparation for successful progression into Higher Education, employment and adult life. Students are encouraged to ‘work hard and play hard’ and their successes bear testimony to the ability of the vast majority of our students to achieve to their potential and also to develop and be prepared for their life beyond the College. More specific detail, with regard to the examination results achieved by College students in 2015 and 2016, including subject level data, are given in subsequent pages. If further detail is required, please contact me or other senior staff at the College. These results are as accurate as can be provided at this time, based upon the provisional allocations of marks and grades by examination boards. Ian MacNaughton Principal October 2016

STUDENT DESTINATIONS – SUMMER 2016 LEAVERS The Sixth Form College has significant experience and commitment to preparing students for entry to Higher Education before progressing to employment. Well over 80% of our College Advanced Level ‘leavers’ progress directly to Higher Education courses after completing their studies at the College or study Art Foundation or take a ‘gap year’ before progressing to HE. Many ‘gap year’ students are successful in obtaining structured international community placements, including with the prestigious Latitude Global Volunteering organisation or EDT – Year in Industry scheme. Our aim is to encourage and enthuse students about their Sixth Form studies and to help them to achieve and obtain the necessary qualifications for entry to their chosen courses in Higher Education and then employment or directly chosen employment areas. At the same time we aim to help our students acquire the skills, confidence and maturity necessary to succeed in their chosen courses of higher study, in their future careers and in their adult lives. Very large numbers of students from this College will progress to study degree courses at British universities. Indeed you are likely to find former students of the Sixth Form College currently studying at virtually every university in the country and the range of courses that students have now chosen is vast, ranging from Architecture, Anthropology, Banking, Fine Art and Geography to Law, Engineering, Medicine, Veterinary Science and Zoology, as well as ‘modern’ degree courses, e.g. Internet Technologies, Biotechnology, Cybernetics Robotics, Film Studies, Applied Marine Science and Sports Science. A small but growing number of students are choosing to study for degrees abroad or ‘online’. The College has considerable expertise in guiding and advising students regarding all Higher Education options. The success of our former students in Higher Education indicates that the College prepares students very well for their future studies. An increasing number of students are alternatively, progressing into local or national or international employment and training opportunities. The following table gives a summary of the provisional ‘known’ destination of those second year students who left in summer 2016, as known in early October. Detailed information about the destination of students proceeding to Higher Education in 2015 can be found in the College Annual Reunion and Awards Event programme in December 2015, (available on the website or on the Open Evenings). Detailed 2016 destinations information will be included in the Programme for the 2016 Reunion and Awards event and will be available from late December 2016. These details will also be published on the College website www.colchsfc.ac.uk

* The DfE published data for total academic points’ includes results from all state sector selective (Grammar) and all Independent (Private) sector Schools as well as including the data from all Schools, Academies and Colleges of a comprehensive nature.

** The College cohort of students forms nearly 20% of all Essex A level and IB Diploma exam entries. The inclusion of the relatively high scores of students at the College serves to ‘drag up’ the Essex average scores.

***In 2015, the College also had small cohorts of 18 year old students completing a ‘vocational’ qualification (DfE definition) alongside their academic programmes (e.g. Institute of Financial Studies Diploma). The DfE Performance Table published average total point score for average vocational attainment at the College in 2015 was 1,060 points per full time equivalent student – this compares to the DfE published average of 577 points for all state funded schools, academies and colleges in England in 2015.

GUIDANCE REGARDING AVERAGE DfE POINT SYSTEM

(Page 7 opposite)

In 2006 the Government changed its measure of student achievement at age 18 as used within the DfE published ‘Performance Tables’ (released in January EACH YEAR ) The DfE now uses its own ‘Points system’ to measure student performance (rather than UCAS points which were used historically). The table below provides details of relevant aspects of the DfE points ‘tariff’ used:

‘DfE POINTS’

A Level / AS Level: A* grade at A Level = 300 DfE points A grade at A Level = 270 DfE points B Grade at A Level = 240 DfE points C Grade at A Level = 210 DfE points D Grade at A Level = 180 DfE points E Grade at A Level = 150 DfE points A Grade at AS Level = 135 DfE points B Grade at AS Level = 120 DfE points C Grade at AS Level = 105 DfE points .... D Grade at AS Level = 90 DfE points .... E Grade at AS Level = 75 DfE points ....

IB Diploma 45 points = 1380 DfE points 35 points = 1080 DfE points 30 points = 930 DfE points 25 points = 780 DfE points 20 points = 630 DfE points For illustration - the student academic average (mean) achievement level at the College in 2014 of approx. 855 DfE points is equivalent to A Level or A* AC in 3 A Levels plus a further E in an AS Level.

*-Guidance re equivalence between IB points and A Level grades Whilst an exact equivalence with A/AS Level grades cannot be made, and there are some differences between subjects, as a broad guideline we believe: Grade 7 at IB Higher Level is broadly equivalent to a grade A* at A Level Grade 6 at IB Higher Level is broadly equivalent to a grade A at A Level. Grade 5 at IB Higher Level is broadly equivalent to a grade B at A Level. Grade 4 at IB Higher Level is broadly equivalent to a grade C at A Level. Grade 3 at IB Higher Level is broadly equivalent to a grade D/E at A Level
