Information for Parents
At York College we know how important it is to make the right choices after Year 11.
Our sixth form courses are divided into two areas.
AS/A Levels
When studying AS/A Levels students are encouraged to choose four subjects, with the possibility of studying up to six. We have the largest choice in the region and the greatest range of possible subject combinations. For an overview of the subjects on offer and to see the support tailored to our A Level students, including support for university progression, please follow this link.
Vocational courses
These courses are available at three levels to suit the student’s ability and their career aspirations. They include one year and two year full-time courses, as well as Apprenticeships, and tend to be more practical with ongoing assessment and coursework. Progression for students from Level 3 courses includes going on to university as well as going directly into the workplace. Many students completing Level 1 and Level 2 courses are successful in progressing to the next level or they may prefer to enter employment with the skills they have learnt. To see the range of vocational subjects offered and the specific support available to our Vocational students please follow this link.
UCAS e-newsletter for parents
If you're the parent or carer of a person who is considering going to University in September you might like to know that UCAS is producing a free e-newsletter especially for you.
You can register for the e-newsletter by following this link.
Supporting your son or daughters' career plans
A range of activities are organised by York College to support students in deciding their next step on completion of their studies.
Progress tutors are supported by careers and study finance specialists, but we recognise that parents and carers play an important role in this process.
Please see the results of our recent Parent / Carer Survey below.
