Joseph Chamberlain College is a hugely popular and highly successful Sixth Form College that was established in 1983 and now offers a wide range of academic courses at all levels to around 2600 school leavers and approximately 700 adults on a separate site.
Our curriculum offer and entry criteria are highly inclusive, offering clear progression routes to success for all students, regardless of their starting points and backgrounds. Approximately 80% of our work is with 16-18 year olds at Level 3, who study AS/A Levels or Level 3 BTEC Extended Diplomas. At Level 2, we offer BTECs and GCSE programmes to 16-18 year olds; at Entry Level and Level 1, we have an extensive ESOL provision. In addition, our separate Adult Learning Directorate offers classes in ESOL, Literacy, Numeracy and Access to HE in a range of community venues.

Our wider curriculum is also rich and varied allowing students to benefit from a great deal of choice in sports, additional languages, performing arts, citizenship, and various other student-led clubs/societies.
