MISSION AND HISTORY
Mission
The College’s mission is to enable all its students to achieve their greatest potential, inspiring them
to wisdom, compassion and leadership in service to others. We aim to do this in a community defined
by Catholic values which has the person and teaching of Christ at its centre. If we are successful in this
then we will be equipping you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to make a positive contribution
to the communities in which you will live and work.
Unpacking the mission . . . . . .
Ensuring that you can “achieve your greatest potential” means more than just getting the best
qualifications and grades that you can, important though that is. It also means leaving us with the
confidence and purpose to go on and make important contributions to your communities and beyond
in your public and professional life. The corridors of the College (and its website) are full of images
of old St Charles students who are now acting with wisdom and leadership and service to others in
the jobs they do and in the careers that they are pursuing. We want all our students to understand
that the ultimate purpose of their education is to transform themselves and their communities for the
better.
Doing this “in a community…which has the person and teaching of Christ at its centre” is more than
just a grand statement. The very strong pastoral support systems in the College are based on the
principle that we want to get to know your names, your stories and your aspirations as quickly as
possible so that you feel known and supported in your learning, however long you may be here. The
commitment to extensive activities beyond the classroom is based on a wish to create a sense of
community and belonging beyond the register and the entry form. Any community that is Christian in
its identity should be marked by relationships based on respect, kindness and humour. We use our
assemblies and tutor sessions to remind people of these values. The work of the chaplaincy, the RE
programme, and the range of community service and charitable activities that mark life at St Charles
show how these values can be lived out in a practical way. If that is what Catholic education is, then
we don’t believe that it should be limited just to those of a Catholic background and the College
welcomes students of many faiths, and none, who want to experience a moral and spiritual element
to their education.
History
The College opened in September 1990, and was created as a result of a reorganisation of post 16
education in this part of Westminster Diocese. The reorganisation was initiated by Cardinal Hume and
the College was essentially his idea. It was originally built for 750 students, but we have worked with
over 1100 young people each year since 2008. We have added to the main
teaching block towards the back of the site over the last ten years to extend
teaching and social space and to accommodate specialist performing arts and
photography provision. In the last four years we have built a new sports and
IT building and added new student service centres at the entry to the College.
A great deal of care has been taken in maintaining our buildings so that the
environment you work in dignifies your learning and your growth.
The College quickly built a reputation for its inclusive approach to education, for the quality of its
results and for its ability to “add value” to students’ achievements irrespective of what their starting
grades might be. It was the first of four sixth form colleges across the country to be identified as a
Beacon college in 1999 and its work has been of that quality since. It has always stood up well to
OFSTED inspections. It was last inspected in 2007 and we elaborate on what the inspectors said then
below.
OFSTED inspection : 2007
The inspectors awarded the following grades to St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College:
Overall effectiveness of provision
Quality of Provision
Leadership and management
Achievement and standards
Capacity to improve
Equality of opportunity
Outstanding : grade 1
Outstanding : grade 1
Outstanding : grade 1
Good : grade 2
Outstanding : grade 1

According to the OFSTED inspectors our key strengths were :
•
Good teaching that very effectively takes into account students’ diverse backgrounds
•
High pass and retention rates on most courses
•
Higher grades on advanced level courses than would be expected given students’
prior attainment
•
A good range of academic and vocational provision
•
Excellent pastoral support
•
An exceptionally inclusive environment that successfully encourages students to have
high aspirations
•
A vibrant Catholic ethos, with a tangible sense of community
•
Outstanding leadership, management and governance
•
Rigorous quality assurance to maintain high standards
Other important judgements made about the College included the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
“Attendance and retention are both good. Students take pride in their work and in
lessons they make effective and fluent contributions. In keeping with the Catholic
ethos, students are polite and well behaved. The religious education programme
successfully contributed to students’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development,
providing them with opportunities to explore issues relating to their faith.”
“Teachers encourage high aspirations and students are strongly motivated to achieve.
Lessons are well structured with a clear emphasis on ensuring that all students make
progress.”
“Assessment is thorough. In lessons, teachers check understanding regularly. Students’
work is marked promptly and their progress is carefully monitored.”
“Enrichment opportunities for learners are outstanding and take-up is very good.”
“Whatever their background or religion, students feel safe and very much part of a
close and supportive community.”
“The College has developed a broad range of activities that respond to local
circumstances and enhance students’ sense of responsibility and commitment to the
wider community. These include work with charities and disadvantaged groups.”
“Students are extremely well cared for and supported.”

ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Principles
St Charles College welcomes students of all religious backgrounds, or none, who wish to pursue their
studies in a Christian environment. All students are invited to make a statement about why they wish
to study at a Catholic college on their paper or online application form. We do not use this statement
to determine the offer of a place, but it allows you to reflect upon and engage with the religious identity
of the College.
All applicants who submit their application to the College by the 31st March 2015 will receive an
invitation to interview.
The entry requirements for the different programme levels are made clear in the section on “Range
of Courses” in this pack. The entry criteria for individual courses are available on request from the
College, at the point of interview and on the College website. These entry requirements are the same
for all applicants.
The College has an inclusive admissions policy and all applicants who successfully complete the
application process, irrespective of academic ability or prior achievement, can expect to receive an
offer from the College. The College has an inclusive curriculum offer which is designed to cater for
the needs of all students at its partner schools and beyond.
Order of Priority for Admissions:
1. Applicants with Specific Physical or Learning Needs
The governors will give priority of consideration to applications from students with specific physical
or learning needs. An open choice of course will be made at enrolment provided the required entry
qualifications for specific courses have been met.
2. Applicants from Catholic Partner Schools
The College has a partnership with three secondary Catholic schools: Saint Thomas More School
in Kensington; the Sion-Manning School in Kensington; Newman Catholic College in Brent. Year 11
applicants will receive application forms in their schools in October. On application to the College we
will ensure the offer of a place to the pupils of these schools, provided satisfactory references are
provided. The required entry criteria for courses will still operate in all cases.
3. Applicants from outside the Partner School group
Such applicants, if made an offer following an interview at the College and the submission of a
satisfactory reference, will receive a conditional offer. If the student accepts this offer then the
place is guaranteed for September. If, however, the student does not meet the entry criteria for their
preferred courses then an alternative programme will be negotiated at enrolment. Applications must
be received by the 31st March 2015.
Unsuccessful Applicants
The College reserves the right to refuse the offer of a place at the College if:
a)
b)
c)
the reference from the student’s current place of study is unsatisfactory
the student’s course or career preferences( as discussed at interview) cannot be
accommodated by the College
the application is received after the 31st March and/or the College has no availability
(such applications may be placed on the waiting list)

RANGE OF COURSES
Students’ programmes of study are organised around three levels. Access to each level is
determined by your GCSE results, as we show below. It is our strong hope, of course, that students
who join us at Foundation or Intermediate level will make progress in their learning and move through
the levels with us.
Qualification Level
Programme Options
Entry requirements
Advanced
Intermediate
Foundation
Vocational qualifications taken at school are given weight by admissions staff when considering
applications to BTEC courses at the college, but they cannot be given an exact equivalence to GCSEs
for A level progression because they are not always appropriate preparation for A level study.
The specific range of courses within each level is described overleaf. One significant advantage of
post-16 colleges over school sixth form provision is the timetabling flexibility that allows almost any
combination of courses. For instance, any combination of four A levels can be assured. We also
encourage BTEC students, to add to their vocational courses with extra GCSE or A level choices.
Although this list of courses was correct at the time of printing, if adjustments are made later in the
academic year then applicants will be informed of such changes during their
interview, or in the course information sent out with offers of a place. Updates
will also be made to the college website. Individual detailed descriptions of
each course are available on the website at www.stcharles.ac.uk.
A levels
All the courses below will be two year ‘new’ A level courses that are examined at the end of the two
year programme. Current advice indicates that they do not include an interim AS qualification at
the end of year 12. If you choose one of these courses you should assume, therefore, that you are
effectively making a two year commitment. They can be combined with BTEC options:
Art
Biology
Business Studies
Chemistry
Economics
English Literature
English Language/Literature
History
Physics
Psychology
Sociology
The A level courses in the next section below can also form part of your A level programme, but they
are available as AS qualifications (achieved within one year at the end of year 12), which can then be
converted into a full A level qualification if you carry on into the A2 element in year 13. These courses
still carry the possibility of ‘cashing in’ a single AS qualification at the end of the first year, before picking
up something else in the second year. These too can be combined with BTEC options:
Drama & Theatre Studies
Film Studies
French
Geography
Italian
Mathematics
Media Studies
Music Technology
Performing Arts
Philosophy and Ethics
Photography
Physical Education
Politics
Portuguese
Spanish
Textiles
Advanced Diploma
All the options listed below are available as two year courses equivalent to two or three A levels.
BTEC courses are just as hard as A levels, but put more emphasis on continuous assessment of
assignments, rather than final exams, in determining the final grade, and their content more closely
relates to the world of work. These courses can be combined with A level options, and we positively
encourage students to supplement BTEC programmes with A level studies:
Art and Design BTEC Diploma
Business Studies BTEC Diploma (or Extended Diploma)
Health and Social Care BTEC Diploma
Information Technology BTEC Diploma
Sport BTEC Extended Diploma
Travel and Tourism BTEC Diploma
Performing Arts BTEC Diploma (under consideration)
Science BTEC Diploma (under consideration)
Extended Project
We encourage all our advanced level students to engage with the Extended Project. This opportunity
to prepare and present an independently researched piece of work is equivalent to an AS qualification,
and becomes available towards the end of year 12. The qualification is highly valued by universities
that see it as an effective preparation to undergraduate study. More details on the programme are
available on our website.
Intermediate and Foundation level
The courses listed below all run as one year courses at the first point of enrolment, but are aimed to
work as a base for progression to advanced study beyond that. The large majority of our students
will stay in the college to progress to further study by achieving merits or distinctions, or improving
on their GCSE grades, in their one year courses. Students without C grades in Maths or English must
enrol on GCSE retake or functional skills courses to reach that standard.
BTEC First Diplomas
Art and Design
Business Studies
Health and Social Care
Information Technology
Travel and Tourism
Sport
GCSE
Biology
Business Studies
English
Information Technology
Italian
Mathematics
Media Studies
Physical Education
Sociology
Foundation programme
The options listed below are combined with support programmes in core functional skills and personal
and social development to help students establish a base from which they can progress to intermediate
learning the following year.
Business Studies
Information Technology

STUDENT SUPPORT AND TRACKING
It is sometimes thought that if a young person moves on to College they move into an environment
where there is less monitoring and support than in school; the students are left, it is claimed, to
manage themselves. This is not true of St Charles College. Our young people need support and
challenge to cope with the demands of post 16 learning. The College has a comprehensive network of
support available to students as they progress through their learning programmes and this is
described below.
Group Tutor
All students are attached to a Tutor Group. They meet with their Tutor every day, and this member of
staff takes responsibility to monitor a students’ overall progress through the College, and to encourage
them to take maximum advantage of all we can offer. They would normally be the first point of contact
for parents/carers should there be any issues to address.
Pastoral Manager
There are five Pastoral Managers, each managing a team of 10/11 Group Tutors. They deal with
managing changes to students’ programmes, and support students who need intervention to get
back on task with their studies, as well as act as problem solvers for any other barriers to students’
progress and eventual achievement. Their role is comparable to that of Head of Year in a school.
They also work closely with parents when necessary.
Senior Pastoral Manager
The senior pastoral manager oversees all the student support services, and is responsible for their
co-ordination and development. She can also be contacted by parents if required.
Student adviser
Our full-time student adviser concentrates on the distinct needs of students who may be living
independently, act as carers, or face unusually challenging external circumstances that require
careful management to ensure that their learning progresses normally. The student adviser takes
responsibility for making referrals to external agencies or counsellors that come into the College
when it is necessary.
Careers Adviser
The careers adviser oversees all the College systems and events relating to university and job
progression, as well as working to support individual students with customised
advice and guidance appropriate to their plans and aspirations. Her work is supported by
external contracts with advisers from the local authority’s careers team, who often
concentrate on the particular needs of students following one year vocational programmes.
Chaplain
Our full-time chaplain provides a source of personal support for individual
students, and is available on a drop-in basis, as well as organising group
activities that meet students’ spiritual needs through the liturgies, retreats, and
sacramental programmes.
Bursary support
There is a designated member of the administrative team who can help students with the application
process and resolve any issues with attendance records or payments.
External agencies
All these staff can refer students to a range of external specialist support services when that is needed,
and we have built up specific links with externally trained counsellors that can provide on-site
counselling support for students facing acute personal and emotional challenges.
Engagement with parents/carers
We know that a supportive home background is crucial to success in learning. We invite all new
parents to a social reception in late September. There are two sets of parent consultation evenings
each year, where formal reports on students are available. The pastoral support system is strongly
focused on early contact home whenever there are signs that students need extra support or challenge.
Tracking Students
Although the college environment is one in which students are given more freedom in the management
of their time, their study load, and planning for their next step, St Charles is an institution where
student attendance and progress is monitored and supported very closely. This takes place in the
following ways:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Attendance at lessons is recorded electronically, together with any time lost through
lack of punctuality. These attendance records can be accessed at any time through
the College’s information systems, and the student can track their own live attendance
and learning records both inside and outside College.
Students’ Group Tutors receive weekly attendance reports and follow up any issues
with students in the daily tutorial sessions.
Students in receipt of bursaries have to reach attendance rates of 95% each week.
For all courses students are given a target grade, based on an assessment of their
prior achievement, and subject teachers make regular assessments of their current
level of attainment against that grade. These assessments are entered in an
electronic students’ record, are used in the two sets of reports that we send to
students’ families through the year, and can be viewed by students through their Profile
page at any time.
Within this system students negotiate and define their own learning targets which
are reviewed formally at three points through the year, to accelerate their progress
and develop their capacity for independent learning.
All teachers can write referral reports on their students at any time, both to applaud
and challenge students’ progress, and these are picked up and responded to by
Group Tutors and senior staff as appropriate. These are part of a students’ record at
the College and, again, can be accessed and read by them on their Profile page.
Pastoral Managers make regular checks on students’ attendance rates and progress,
and respond to Group Tutor information, in order to intervene to challenge or support
students when necessary. These interventions might subsequently involve contact
with parents or referral to other sources of support and are always recorded as part
of a students’ pastoral record.
The College reserves the right to place students on probationary enrolment or
short-term performance contracts whenever attendance or work submission has
become very weak. These systems are run by senior staff, and students’ families are
kept closely informed of these arrangements
LEARNING SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS
The College makes special provision for students with distinct learning or physical needs in an
outstanding learning support department. Five specialist teachers work in our Learning Support
Centre. They have considerable expertise in helping students who have specific challenges with
their learning; these include:
•
•
•
•
•
Those with a specific learning difficulty/disability such as dyslexia
Learners with English as an Additional Language (EAL) needs
Those who may have had an interrupted education
Learners with low literacy / numeracy skills
Students who feel they may benefit from coursework planning, organisation as well as
revision and exam techniques
The Learning Support Centre is equipped with multi-media software and laptops for individual student
use. The Centre provides targeted, specialised support for up to 100 students per academic year.
Students supported are drawn from across the learning programmes at the College; from those on
a Level 1 Vocational Studies course to those studying 4 A levels. These students are seen by a
qualified teacher on an individual, pair or small group basis generally once a week. Lessons are
always timetabled in learners’ free periods; taking place in the Learning Support Department. We
aim to see learners who may benefit from specific support when they first come to college for their
interview. At enrolment, all students who may need Learning Support will have a conversation with a
member of the Learning Support team so that individual needs can be met as soon as possible
In addition, students who may not have specific learning needs but need help with particular skills or
work assignments can drop in without prior arrangement.
The department has a very strong record of supporting students to the successful completion of their
mainstream programmes.
The main teaching buildings and student facilities have access arrangements for those with mobility
problems. The College welcomes students with physical disabilities, and has experience of supporting
students with acute needs form cerebral palsy to muscular dystrophy.
All subject areas can provide workshop and additional subject specific support for students who
need some extra help outside their mainstream lessons.
There is a short film on our website, under the Teaching and Learning section, about the work of the
learning support department, which you might find helpful.
LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
At St Charles College the classroom is not the only place you can gain experiences, skills and knowledge
that can contribute to your learning and your personal growth. We can offer you a range of opportunities
through our enrichment programme, in the creative arts and business, in the community, and in the
workplace for you to both enjoy and challenge yourself. This, for instance, is what students were
involved with last year:

and female students, in competitive sports and recreational activities. We benefit from a very stylish
sports hall that can accommodate a range of sports and an industry standard fitness suite, free for all
students to use. The list of activities and achievements that were secured in the last academic year

UNIVERSITY DESTINATIONS AND PROGRESSION
Students and staff at St Charles College are proud of their collective achievement in securing so
many university places each year; many will be of the first generation in their family to do so. To
progress to any university is a fine achievement and opens doors to a professional career in so many
occupations.
We have bolded those of our students who have secured places at a top 40 university institution,
according to the Complete University Guide; this includes Russell Group universities widely regarded as the
most prestigious in the UK. We should point out, however, that this group excludes some very fine institutions
and that many of our leavers would have consciously selected degree courses and universities more
appropriate to their career aspirations.
