College Principal

Thank you for your interest in applying to Barton Peveril College.

Barton Peveril Sixth Form College situated in Eastleigh, Hampshire is one of the largest (over 4,700 students in 2022) and most successful sixth form colleges in the country.

• OFSTED judged the College Outstanding across all four key judgements: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
• We are oversubscribed and well regarded in our community.
• Our financial management has been excellent allowing us to invest in an estate (over £28 million in 10 years) which seems more like a university than a school.
• Our curriculum is made up of A level and Level 3 Applied General courses. These are supported by over 90 enrichment courses designed to broaden our students’ skills, employability, health, and commitment to their communities.

80% of second year students move on to Higher Education including to the most selective universities. We draw students from all over the south Hampshire area from a full range of backgrounds and are committed to meeting the needs of individuals and to raising aspiration. Our value-added performance at A level currently places us in the top 10-20% of all providers nationally.

We hope you will be excited at the prospect of joining our fantastic and highly committed staff, united in a desire to inspire 16-18 year olds and prepare them for life beyond College in an inclusive, modern, competitive, international, and diverse society.

There is a wonderful team spirit amongst the staff. We commit significant resource to CPD each year. Staff have joint planning and meeting times built into the timetable. There is a wide range of staff activities, well appointed work rooms, and excellent catering facilities. Staff are on nationally negotiated Sixth Form College Association contacts and pay scales, commensurate with teachers in schools.

We are fully committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. The College actively seeks to monitor, promote and encourage the active participation of all individuals and groups. It fully meets its commitments to equality and diversity legislation and strives to uphold the spirit as well as the letter of the law, celebrating the enrichment brought to the workforce and student population by differences in individuals and groups.

If you share our commitment to constantly improving our professional skills and ensuring we offer the very best sixth form for our diverse student body, we very much want to hear from you.
