About Wyke Sixth Form College
Wyke is a successful and highly ambitious Sixth Form College whose aim is to be the best college in the country. We are an established, popular College with an outstanding reputation in the locality. The college draws students from Kingston-Upon-Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and further afield. The largest and one of the most successful A-level provider in the area, we offer applicants the opportunity to work alongside committed colleagues who have enabled our students to achieve high levels of success. At Wyke we put the student first and all decisions centre around staff working together to meet their best interests.
We currently have over 2000 students and around 200 members of staff. We offer a wide range of A Level courses as well as some highly successful Vocational CTEC and BTEC (VOC) courses, both those equivalent to one, two and three A-levels, and a small number of GCSEs.
Each A-level, GCSE or VOC is allocated 4 x 70 minute lessons and a full time teacher will teach 5 of these ‘blocks’. The teaching day begins at 9a.m. and finishes at 4p.m. On some mornings full staff or faculty briefings are held at 8.45a.m. to keep staff up to date with what is happening around the college and allow a time for them to catch up with each other.
We have an excellent team of staff and their continuing professional development is a priority at Wyke. The approach for this was recently revised so that so that members of staff fall into one of a number of development strands e.g. ‘Aspiring Leaders’, ‘Lead Learners’, ‘Pastoral’, ‘Administrative’. Some development activities take place on one of the four Development Days spread across the year while other sessions are during afternoon workshops or independent activity which happens whenever is convenient for the staff members involved. Our plan is that every member of staff will have an entitlement to a significant amount of development every year and we also offer a system for people to log that development, including any activities undertaken independently.
We offer a welcoming college with supportive management and a strong team atmosphere as well as a modern environment. We are lucky to work with great students who are here to learn and have chosen their subjects so standards of behaviour are high.
