14-16 Provision at Hackney Sixth Form Campus FAQs

There are several open events held throughout the academic year. We encourage you to attend the open events where you can speak to our 14-16 Team, who will be able to answer any questions you may have. All open event details can be found on our website. As we have limited places on our programmes, we suggest you make your application at the earliest opportunity.

Once you have completed an application, we will invite you and your child to visit and enrol with the college. This will involve a 2–3-hour English and Maths assessment to determine your child’s level and decide which course is the most appropriate.

The provision is based within college and supports students to transition to adult life. It encourages independence and a more mature way of studying and developing critical thinking skills. We are fully compliant with safeguarding legislation and our 14-16 provision has its own discrete area.

Your child will be required to attend three days a week. This will be either Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays or Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays depending on the programme of study.

All 14-16 students remain on site. There are lots of activities students can take part in during the break and lunchtime.

All course information will be given to you when you visit the college.

Yes, depending on your child’s assessment, they can enrol on our Year 11 programme

Unfortunately, we can only enrol year 10 and year 11 students.

All home-educated students will have classes in discrete classes with other home-educated students. We have a designated 14-16 area, where students can spend their social time. All 14-16 students are always supervised and there are CCTV cameras throughout the college. In addition, all 14-16 students wear a red lanyard and school uniform to make themselves easily identifiable.

Please let the college know so that we can support your child. Your child may be referred to our SENCO who will devise an individualised support plan for your child.

Encourage your child to tell you what they are learning in college and check they have completed their homework. We recommend all students read at home for at least one hour per day.
