“The support I received helped me secure my place at university. From my personal statement to interview preparation, I always felt guided and encouraged to aim high.”
Destinations
At Carterton Community College Sixth Form, we measure success not just by grades, but by where those grades take our students. Every year, our students move on to a wide range of ambitious and meaningful destinations — from leading universities to high-quality apprenticeships and employment with respected organisations.
Our focus is simple: every student leaves us with a clear pathway, strong outcomes, and the confidence to succeed in their chosen future.
University
Our students progress to universities across the UK, reflecting both the breadth of our curriculum and the ambition of our learners. Recent destinations include:
University of Oxford, University of Bristol, University of Warwick, University of St Andrews, University of Manchester, University of Liverpool, Loughborough University, Falmouth University and many more.
Students go on to study a wide range of courses, including:
Medicine, Engineering, Psychology, Law, Business, Fine Art, Media, Geography, History, and Education.
We provide structured support for university applications, including UCAS guidance, personal statement workshops, and interview preparation — ensuring students are well prepared for competitive courses.
Apprenticeships & Employment
University is not the only pathway — and we are equally proud of students who move into apprenticeships and employment. Our strong employer links ensure students have access to high-quality opportunities in a range of sectors.
Recent destinations include:
BMW Mini, Siemens, Hovis, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Burford Garden Company, and the John Radcliffe Hospital.
Students secure apprenticeships in areas such as engineering, healthcare, business, and construction — combining paid employment with professional training and qualifications.
Preparing Students for Success
These destinations are not achieved by chance. They are the result of a carefully structured Sixth Form experience that combines academic study with personal development and career preparation.
Students benefit from:
High-quality teaching and academic support
Dedicated careers guidance and one-to-one mentoring
Work experience placements linked to career ambitions
Exposure to employers, universities, and industry professionals
Development of transferable skills such as communication, independence, and resilience
The Carterton Baccalaureate (CBacc) plays a key role in this, recognising students who go beyond the classroom through leadership, volunteering, and enrichment.
