"This
is a time when
parents inevitably
worry about their
son or daughter
making the right
choice of course
to follow after
their GCSEs. It’s
also a time when
exams add to the
pressures on young
people and their
families.
We want
to help you and
your son or daughter
make the right
choice. We think
that it’s vital
that you get the
information you
need, and the opportunity
to explore different
options, before
making that crucial
decision.
I am proud
to be Principal
of York College.
I believe that
we offer very high
standards of education
and support for
young people, whatever
their area of study.
I know our staff
go the extra mile
to work with our
students to ensure
they achieve their
full potential.
I also know we
have high standards
of behaviour and
require students
to give their full
commitment to their
college studies.
Our results are
in the top 10%
of all colleges;
our pass rates
are well above
national averages;
our students progress
to the top universities
and into very prestigious
employment. This
is achieved in
partnership with
parents and families,
and by the hard
work of staff and
students. I hope
that, when you
have explored all
the options, you
will feel able
to trust York College
to take your son
or daughter on
the next stage
of their journey
as they start to
achieve their true
potential."
