The mission of Woodhouse College is to be an inspirational and nurturing
community that is committed to excellence and equips high-achieving, ambitious
students with the skills to thrive on their preferred university course and in
the wider world of work.' Woodhouse College is a popular and oversubscribed
sixth form college in Barnet teaching A level courses to around 1500 students
aged 16 –18 years, who join us from over 180 different schools across North
London. From 1st January 2021, following academisation, Woodhouse College became
part of Frontier Learning Trust. Our students are high-achieving and
hard-working. They have done well at GCSE and aim to do likewise at A level.
Almost all go on to university. The college acts as a bridge from school to
university, giving students a chance to grow in confidence and to develop
independent learning skills. All of our students study A levels. We offer a wide
range of subjects, and students can study them in almost any combination. Each A
level has five hours of lessons per week and along with the A levels taken
students are expected to attend a tutorial programme to support them in
acquiring the skills to thrive at university and beyond. In addition, we offer a
number of super and extra curricular opportunities along with experiences of the
work place. Woodhouse is one of the leading places to study A levels in London.
Our consistently high performance in exam results backs this up. The government
recognises us as one of a small number of colleges with both Beacon Status and
Ofsted Outstanding status. Our A*–B pass rates consistently place us in the top
five sixth form colleges nationally. The college boasts some of the best
facilities in the area and promotes an extensive recreational and academic
enrichment programme. At our heart is an impressive pastoral care system, and
our tutorial, guidance and support systems help students steer a safe course
through A levels and beyond. Our combination of expert teaching staff and an
ambitious, supportive approach has proved very successful. We provide a happy,
trusting and caring environment where students can challenge themselves and
explore a whole range of opportunities. Woodhouse is as much about personal
growth as it is about exam success. Our students are ambitious: they embrace the
challenge to be the best they can be, both inside and outside the classroom.
