Our Mission
Hereford Sixth Form College wants every one of our students to reach their full academic potential, whilst benefiting from a high level of individual support and guidance.
We believe that all our students can succeed and are passionate about improving student performance by challenging, encouraging and motivating students to aim for high expectations with a ‘can achieve culture’.
Recreation and social activities are an integral part of our life at College and we encourage all students to get involved in the wider community, through volunteering or work experience, to broaden horizons and life awareness.
Our Vision
We were the first winner of the TES Sixth Form College of the Year Award in 2016 and we have set a standard for ourselves and our students which we are committed to maintain.
We aim to develop ambitious yet contented students, respectful of each other and their community, who are able to act independently but with regard to others and who have a wide knowledge and skill base.
We want our students to be capable of constructive and critical thought and to go on to contribute to the local, national and global society.
