Post 16

North Birmingham Academy sets high standards in the Post 16, working closely with students to set achievable, personalised goals and meeting regularly to discuss their progress. We are very proud of our Post 16 students’ achievements, most of who go on to study at university.

We offer a broad curriculum in the sixth form – both academic and vocational – from A- and AS-Levels to BTEC, diplomas and OCR Nationals. Students are able to combine a selection of these qualifications in order to enhance their chances of academic and employment success and make most of their individual skills and talents. For more information about all our courses please see the Post 16 prospectus.

We believe it is important to develop the ‘whole student’, ensuring they leave us as responsible, committed and ambitious young people who are a credit to themselves, their families and their communities.  All Post 16 students are encouraged to make a positive contribution to Academy life by mentoring the younger students, assisting group tutors and being ambassadors for Academy events.  Additionally students can become involved in volunteer work, work experience, job-shadowing and community service.  All of which are focussed on cultivating initiative, responsibility, commitment and positive relations with staff, their peers, younger members of the Academy and the local community.

The Post 16 gives our students the opportunity to continue to study and achieve in the inclusive and caring environment they have come to value.
