Launceston College Sixth Form

Our range of courses is increasing - please revisit soon to find more details!

An increasing number of students continue their studies in years 12 & 13 at the College. We offer a broad range of courses running for one year or two years leading to both academic and vocational qualifications. We have established a record of success in many subjects at Advanced Level and at AS Level.
At the same time courses leading to Vocational Qualifications are proving valuable in the eyes of both employers and Further Education and Higher Education. We offer courses at Intermediate and Advanced Levels. A post 16 prospectus may be obtained from the College with details of the Post 16 Curriculum. All students in years 12 & 13 have opportunities to take short courses; they are encouraged to take part in community activities and to support younger children whilst enjoying greater responsibility and an approach which recognises their increasing maturity.
